Taking place on 22 April 2026, it???s an ideal starting point for anyone looking to build practical technical skills for modern research.
This is a dedicated sanctuary designed to hold space for the unique journeys of honours students, postgraduates, and postdocs. Rooted in Freire's belief that knowledge is a collective act, we invite you into an empathetic space where your research ideas can breathe and your professional identity can flourish.
From 8:30 to 10:30, we provide a peaceful sanctuary designed to ignite creativity and reduce stress. Whether you???re working on a thesis or a personal journal, our space helps you build a consistent, healthy habit that supports your well-being.
In this webinar, we will discuss what data privacy means in the social science context. Furthermore, we will discuss the risks involved in collecting, storing, sharing, and decommissioning data and responsibilities of data controllers and processors in social science research. Lastly, we will look at ways to securely collect, store, use, and decommission social science research data.
Social behaviour is often studied through words, interviews, surveys, narratives, and theory. While these approaches are essential, they do not always capture how social systems change over time or how small shifts can produce large effects. This webinar introduces a systems-based approach to understanding social behaviour by modelling human interactions as dynamic processes. Using the conceptual logic of differential equations, the session demonstrates how patterns, feedback loops, and change over time can be used to generate insight into social phenomena such as cooperation, conflict, crime, and decision-making. The focus is on interpretation rather than mathematical technique, showing how modelling can complement traditional social science methods and support the design of evidence-informed interventions.
