OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Young Lives Data Presentation
On Tuesday 26th October 5:45pm-6:45pm, in Seminar Room 2, the Young Lives research assistants invite all masters students to an informal presentation introducing the 20-year mixed-methods longitudinal study of childhood poverty, and exploring the applications of the data for dissertation purposes.
The presentation will include:
* Introducing the panel data: some details on data collection and what’s available.
* Survey advantages
* Discussing some novel applications
* How to access the data
* Q&A
Young Lives was established as an international study of childhood poverty to track the progress of the millennium development goals in 2002 when we started to follow the lives of 12,000 children in Ethiopia, India (in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana), Peru and Vietnam. These children, across two cohorts, the Younger Cohort born in 2001-02 and the Older Cohort born in 1994-94, are now aged 19/20 and 26/27 years respectively. Young Lives research has investigated the causes and consequences of child poverty, as well as inequalities over the life-cycle, to explain skills development and learning, health and nutrition and exposure to risk and violence. More recently, research has also focused on labour markets, family formation, mental health and new emerging vulnerabilities e.g., COVID-19.
