  Writing & Society Research Centre Hybrid Seminar Series 2023

  Rosamund Bartlett on 'Reading Russian Literature in a Time of War: Chekhov & Tolstoy'.

  All welcome
  Rosamund Bartlett on 'Reading Russian Literature in a Time of War: Chekhov & Tolstoy'.

  Against the backdrop of the invasion of Ukraine, this lecture will reflect on the unusual friendship between two great Russian writers, Leo Tolstoy and Anton Chekov. Tolstoy is now renown for his novels, but during his lifetime he was better known for his promotion of non-violence and for his campaign against the Russian government and the Orthodox Church. Chekhov, one of the great innovators of the modern short story, was deeply influenced by Tolstoy's moral philosophy and social activism. This talk will delve into their relationship and consider the continuing importance of their humanitarian mission.

  Intersect Online Training: Longitudinal Trials with REDCap

  Learn how to run longitudinal data collection, such as surveys with post-intervention and follow-up questionnaires, using REDCap's powerful features.

  Training and skill upgrade
  Learn how to run longitudinal data collection, such as surveys with post-intervention and follow-up questionnaires, using REDCap's powerful features.

  Note:

  In order to participate in this course, you must be able to access a REDCap instance. Please confirm that you can sign in to your university's REDCap instance before registering for this course. For Western Sydney University researchers, please follow this guide to create a REDCap account.

  Why do this course?

  REDCap is a powerful and extensible application for managing and running longitiudinal data collection activities. With powerful features such as organising data collections instruments into predefined events, you can shephard your participants through a complex survey at various time points with very little configuration.

  This course will introduce some of REDCap’s more advanced features for running longitudinal studies, and builds on the foundational material taught in REDCAP101 – Managing Data Capture and Surveys with REDCap.

  You'll learn:

  • Build a longitudinal project
  • Manage participants throughout multiple events
  • Configure and use Automated Survey Invitations
  • Use Smart Variables to add powerful features to your logic
  • Take advantage of high-granularity permissions for your collaborators
  • Understand the data structure of a longitudinal project

  Prerequisites:

  This course requires the participant to have a fairly good basic knowledge of REDCap. To come up to speed, consider taking our Data Capture and Surveys with REDCap workshop.

  Intersect Online Training: Introduction to Research Data Management at Western Sydney

  This workshop is ideal for researchers who want to know how to create a research data management plan.

  Training and skill upgrade; Online Events
  This workshop is ideal for researchers who want to know how to create a research data management plan.

  As a Western Sydney University researcher or HDR Candidate, is important to understand your responsibilities around the management of your research data.

  Western Sydney University’s Research Data Management Policy requires all researchers and HDR candidates to develop a Research Data Management Plan (RDMP) prior to starting research at the University.

  A RDMP will help you think proactively about your project and the data that will be produced, including how it will be collected, organised, managed, stored, preserved, shared and possibly published during and after your research project.

  In this workshop you will learn more about the process of creating a comprehensive RDMP, including:

  • How to access and submit an RDMP on ResearchDirect
  • How to manage your research data according to legal, statutory, ethical, funding body and university requirements.
  • Research data storage options at Western
  • The importance of update and review of your RDMP
  • The benefits of publication and re-usability of research data
  • How to access support with research data management planning
