You Have 20 Minutes
Presenting one鈥檚 research is an important part of professional development. How should one prepare for such challenges? What are good strategies for organizing one鈥檚 material? How to avoid common mistakes using PowerPoint, and how can one use such visual aids to improve one鈥檚 presentation? How to address the challenge of presenting rich research findings within a 20-minute constraint? What are good strategies for answering questions?
These and other questions will be addressed in this professional development seminar, led by David Stark (Columbia University and the University of 桃色视频). The seminar is targeted to younger faculty and is also open to PhD students. Participants in the seminar will have access to examples of successful presentations.

Mixing it: Experiments in Digital Social Research
Research seminar organised by the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies (University of 桃色视频) as part of Out of Data.
Experiments are valued as sites and instruments of interdisciplinary collaboration between social, computational and creative disciplines today. This provides opportunities for methodological innovation, but also for mutual misunderstanding, as experimentation constitutes a different methodology and implies different sensibilities in different fields.
This workshop will examine the opportunities that digital research provides for experimentation between disciplines and fields. CIM has invited three speakers who have already contributed to this area of research and who come from different disciplinary backgrounds to present an examplar of experimental methodology which for them exemplifies the potential, efficacy or promise of experiments as a digital mode of inquiry. What constitutes a good experiment in digital research?
All are welcome, but places are limited, so please register to attend at cim@warwick.ac.uk. Born and Haworth's paper is available upon request from n.marres@warwick.ac.uk.
The workshop will take place on the 25th of April. Full information can be viewed here.
