Leadership in Statistics (Free Seminar) with American Statistical Association

Leadership in Statistics (Free Seminar) with American Statistical Association https://instats.org/seminar/?utm_source=dresa https://dresa.org.au/events/leadership-in-statistics-free-seminar-with-american-statistical-association Leadership in statistics extends far beyond formal titles or supervisory roles. Although l[color=rgb(36, 36, 36)]eadership is often seen as a position within an organization that requires supervising or managing staff, in the words of John C. Maxwell, “A leader knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” Max Bazerman says that leaders create an environment that enables their organization to make the best decisions. Under both definitions, an applied statistician can lead even early in their career. This webinar, [/color]presented by the Committee on Applied Statisticians,[color=rgb(36, 36, 36)] will feature two presentations on leadership in action from different applied statistics settings, followed by a discussion.[/color] 2025-09-11 05:00:00 UTC 2025-09-11 06:00:00 UTC American Statistical Association Instats info@instats.org [] [] [] open_to_all [] -
Ethnography in Risky Settings with Tobias Marschall, Graduate Institute Geneva

Building on ethnography’s pursuit of cultural intimacy and thick description, we treat accuracy, authenticity, and truthfulness as contested criteria and trace how realism vs. fiction, visibility and form, intensified image circulation, and tightening border regimes reshape practice. Through discussion, case analyses, and structured debates, participants explore informed consent, participation, “do no harm,” and authorship. We also consider alternative publication modalities and reflect on researchers’ multiple roles and the ethical stakes of long-term engagement in contexts of risk and vulnerability. 2025-10-23 04:30:00 UTC 2025-10-25 07:00:00 UTC Tobias Marschall, Graduate Institute Geneva Instats info@instats.org [] [] [] open_to_all [] -

The impact on households' quality of life is significant, affecting physical and mental health. A robust body of evidence connects energy poverty to higher rates of mortality and increased risks of cardiovascular, inflammatory, and mental health conditions. This seminar provides a rigorous conceptual and measurement toolkit to define, construct, and validate energy poverty indicators from different data sources and to map plausible pathways to diverse health and well-being outcomes.
