  • Storytelling with Data Visualisation

    13 - 15 October 2025

    Storytelling with Data Visualisation https://dresa.org.au/events/storytelling-with-data-visualisation-97d43780-866d-49e1-a821-fd9b15d34004 Studies have shown that readers will only spend 3 to 8 seconds looking at each plot in a report before deciding whether to invest more time examining that plot or to move on to the next part of the report (Storytelling with Data, Cole). This requires careful thought about the visualization design, and clever manipulation of the visualization software (such as the ggplot function in R). Additional thought is required if the data is not just shown in a static report or webpage, but is shown within a dashboard environment (such as using Shiny in R). This workshop has two objectives – to teach the design principles required to make plots that really stand out for the reader, and to teach the practical skills required to create these plots within R 2025-10-13 10:00:00 UTC 2025-10-15 17:00:00 UTC ACSPRI online online ACSPRI info@acspri.org.au [] Data scientistsPhD studentsResearchers and research students, or anyone who wants to learn intermediate statistical concepts to apply in R. 12 workshop open_to_all data visualisationdata storytellingR softwareData analysis

  • The Art of Survey Writing

    16 - 17 October 2025

    The Art of Survey Writing https://dresa.org.au/events/the-art-of-survey-writing-b0058dc5-7e80-436d-b519-be72eca89402 We are in the middle of a data revolution. This has impacted the academic, private, not for profit and public sectors. Data collection is a significant part of this, and surveys are an important tool for gathering information on how individuals think and behave. However, there have been some high profile misses in recent years: the 2016 US Presidential election and Brexit being the most significant of these. What caused these errors, and can good survey design save us from making the same mistakes? Taught by an instructor with real-world experience as a pollster, campaign consultant, survey researcher and data scientist, this masterclass will focus on what makes good (and bad) survey design. 2025-10-16 10:00:00 UTC 2025-10-17 16:00:00 UTC ACSPRI online, Australia online Australia ACSPRI info@acspri.org.au [] All researchersPhD studentsHDR students 12 workshop open_to_all survey designsurvey research

  • Writing Qualitatively

    23 - 24 October 2025

    Writing Qualitatively https://dresa.org.au/events/writing-qualitatively This is a practical masterclass is aimed at researchers with some qualitative writing experience who are looking to extend their knowledge and learn some practical tips for managing the process more efficiently. This masterclass is designed for researchers with some experience in qualitative writing who are looking to take their skills to the next level. Whether you're grappling with how to clearly represent your participants’ voices, unsure how to structure your findings, or simply want to write more efficiently and with greater impact, this workshop offers a hands-on, supportive environment to refine your practice. 2025-10-23 09:30:00 UTC 2025-10-24 13:30:00 UTC ACSPRI Online Online ACSPRI info@acspri.org.au [] PhD studentsResearchers and research students, or anyone who wants to learn intermediate statistical concepts to apply in R. 12 workshop open_to_all Qualitative ResearchQualitative methodsQualitative Writing

  • Introduction to R: Online

    7 - 14 November 2025

    Introduction to R: Online https://dresa.org.au/events/introduction-to-r-online One of the key skills in data science is making effective use of software for manipulating data and generating results. R is an established software environment used in the world of data science. In this course, you will be introduced to basic data wrangling, descriptive statistics, visualisation and reporting of results. Key R data science libraries such as dplyr and ggplot will be introduced. 2025-11-07 09:30:00 UTC 2025-11-14 17:00:00 UTC ACSPRI Online, Australia Online Australia ACSPRI info@acspri.org.au [] [] 12 workshop open_to_all R softwareIntroductoryR statistical software

  • Introduction to Deep Learning for Social Sciences

    22 - 24 September 2025

    Introduction to Deep Learning for Social Sciences https://dresa.org.au/events/introduction-to-deep-learning-for-social-sciences-4398e79d-d628-4802-a424-13a51186fab2 This masterclass is an introduction to deep learning applications in the social sciences. It offers a step-by-step guide to working with basic classification tasks, image recognition using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and natural language processing (NLP) with recurrent neural networks (RNNs). The course utilizes Python, TensorFlow, and Google Colab but does not require prior coding experience. These foundational tools provide practical experience in applying essential deep learning techniques to the social sciences domain. This masterclass is part of the ACSPRI suite of courses in social data science and does not require prior knowledge of machine learning or Python programming. 2025-09-22 09:30:00 UTC 2025-09-24 16:00:00 UTC ACSPRI Online, Australia Online Australia ACSPRI info@acspri.org.au [] researchersHDR studentsPhD studentsSocial Scientists 12 workshop open_to_all Deep learning PythonCNNNLPRNNNeural networks
