EDSP2 training courses

Every year, the ED Board and Council discuss the school’s educational policy, especially with respect to other training methods available, feedback from the PhD student representatives and the Research Unit directors about the needs of PhD students, and finally, data on continuing careers. The training courses offered consist of: Themed seminars; laboratory seminars; Masters teaching units; language learning; courses by URFIST (Regional teaching unit for scientific and technical information). In addition, some activities (representing students on doctoral school bodies and university central councils, publication of a scientific article, etc.) also count towards students’ training hours.

Themed EDSP2 seminars

Methodology seminars

(All these seminars are listed in the ADUM Catalogue)

Methodology for social sciences
Lecturer: Joël Zaffran

Aim: To be aware of the approaches, methods and tools used in the field of social sciences. To be able to justify a choice of method; to know the tools used for analysis; to understand mixed methods and the advantage of using them.

The social sciences offer different ways of producing data, which are broadly divided between two approaches. The first is explanatory and produces quantitative data. The second is comprehensive where the aim is to produce qualitative data. What are the epistemological foundations of these two approaches? Can data be complementary, and if so under what conditions? We will answer these questions after a general presentation followed by a discussion with the participants during which their research topic will be presented in such a way that they understand the advantages and the limitations of their choice of methodology.

 

Experimental methodology
Lecturer: François Ric

Aim: To understand the logic involved in the experimental process, to be able to provide a critical appreciation of an experimental design, to set up a simple experiment.

The aim of this course is to give a general presentation of the experimental approach. After defining the experimental system, and its usefulness and special features compared to other methods, we look at the different types of experimental plan, pointing out their respective advantages and disadvantages. Next, we consider the different ways of controlling confounding variables, including the expectations of researchers and of participants. Finally, we look at questions of validity (internal, external, ecological, individual) and prioritizing them in this type of research.

Methodological issues and challenges - Awareness of unique methodological tools: from direct questioning to indirect questioning
Lecturer : Eric Dugas
Pessac : 4 sessions of 3 hours : 1 lecture and 3 tutorials
- 23 February: 9 A.M. to 12 noon - room H (43 seats)
- 25 February: 9 A.M. to 12 noon - room D127 (34 seats)
- 2 March: 9 A.M. to 12 noon - room H
- 4 March: 9 A.M. to 12 noon - room D127
Organisation : on site or by video conference if requested

The proposed module will help doctoral students become aware of research methodology, particularly in the context of opinion surveys and/or associated social representations according to inductive stimuli (tastes, preferences, social choices, rankings, etc.).
In a brief first stage (1/4), using the classic tools used in Master's studies - mainly the interview and the questionnaire - we will (re)visit the numerous biases and obstacles that mark out any methodological approach up to the interpretation of the results: the case of graphs (presentation); the forgotten third variable; the 'need' for causal attribution; the law of small numbers, etc. In this way, the obstacles linked to (i) the researcher himself, (ii) the construction of the tools, (iii) the interpretation of the data collected, will be examined.
In the second and most important stage (3/4), the doctoral students will learn to use complementary tools that allow them to move from direct questioning (which is delicate, as many biases are involved, as revealed above) to indirect questioning. To do this, bypass tools are manipulated such as the Condorcet procedure (pairwise comparisons and the Condorcet effect), the Blackian procedure (multiple-choice questions and ranking) and Osgood's differentiator (on the pole of connotations).
These original techniques can be used in both quantitative and qualitative analysis in the humanities and social sciences.
 

Interdisciplinary seminars

Digital and Health. What is Digital Health? History, definitions and policy strategies
Intervenante : Ilaria Montagni
Organisation : by videoconference (Zoom), on November 12th, 2020 from 9:30 to 11:00

Aim :To get acquainted with the conceptualization of digital health: its origins from an historical and political point of view; To get familiar with current regulations and political strategy at the French and international level.

Programme : A 2 hours course divided into two parts:
1) Digital health, eHealth, telemedicine, mHealth… ? History and definition of a concept disrupting public health (1 hour and 30 minutes). At the beginning of the seminar students are asked to produce a mindmap of the concept and present it to the class (30 minutes). After this exercise, the instructor will present the different definitions of “digital health” provided in the literature through an historical perspective (1 hour).
2)The legal, ethical and deontological issues of digital health: from a local to an international perspective (30 minutes). The instructor will explain the current political strategies concerning digital health both on the local level (France) and the international level (Europe and beyond).

 

Rites and rituals: an anthropological approach to complex phenomena
Speaker: Sophie Chavé-Dartoen
March 15 and 22, 2021 from 2:30 to 4:30 pm (2 sessions)
Organization: face-to-face and video Zoom
This training (2 X 2 inseparable hours) is intended for doctoral students of the ED, from all disciplines, who are interested in and/or confronted with ritual practices in their fields, in order to help them ask the right questions, then find and read the resources that will allow them to advance in their work.
It does not aim at an initiation to the anthropology of ritual, but rather at a synthetic approach to the theories related to ritual and a discussion of the most interesting propositions. It is accessible to neophytes in that it includes a reminder of the scientific debates and a presentation of the keys to understanding. It is also open to more experienced doctoral students, as a place for sharing and exchanging their work and a problematized synthesis.
This training will consist of several types of exchanges:
- a round table discussion in order to clearly identify the issues that the doctoral students are facing and the authors they have identified. The latter will be discussed in conjunction with alternative theories;
- a presentation, in the form of a lesson, of the general issues, theories and their stakes, both from the point of view of characterizing and analyzing complex social phenomena, in order to make their principles and implications accessible within a mastered interpretative framework;
- discussion time, in order to encourage the appropriation of references and theories, and to propose complementary paths;
- in addition to the resources mobilized in the lectures and discussions, a reference bibliography on the subject will be provided and presented.

 

Environment/Health/Society (in progress)
The objective is to provide a general training (basic) on the theme "Environment/Health/Society", perhaps primarily aimed at doctoral students not completely familiar with the interdisciplinary approach.
