Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
In this talk I outline a series of challenges faced in research higher education access and participation in a range of contexts from the perspective of research design and analytical approaches, including: under-powered analysis, limited external validity even in the presence of otherwise rich and large data, the implications of experimental and quasi-experimental designs for analytical choices, and the communication of findings from varied quantitative designs and analytical approaches to relevant stakeholders. I illustrate these challenges with examples from work around higher education access and participation using cross-sectional surveys, cohort studies, RCTs, and quasi-experimental designs. I think about complexity (in research and beyond) from a variety of perspectives and outline the approaches that have worked, and those that have not, in addressing these challenges and communicating them comprehensively.
