Master Classes and Expert Workshops
For postgraduate research students, but of interest to early-career and other academics. Three or four masterclasses or workshops each semester taking place on occasional Wednesdays, 1 to 5pm.
The sessions cover specific research methods in some detail and at an advanced level. Master classes are often based on a research project and give insights on the thinking behind the work and how the research evolved. The sessions describe the process of how to do research as well as hearing about the work itself. The Expert Workshops are more focused sessions covering specific tools and techniques that can be used in research in economics and in social science more generally.
Master Classes and Expert Workshops programmes
Relatedly, we also run a series of Twilight Sessions for postgraduate research students on occasional Wednesday evenings (5 to 6pm) discussing some of the generic/soft skills developed by economists during a research degree.
