Do you listen to music while diving into a tough project? Then this playlist is for you! This month, we're making big plans for University Research Week, a series of events held across campus from October 21-25. This year’s theme is "Back to Basics." Basic, or fundamental, research uncovers the core concepts for a field of study and is driven by a desire to expand knowledge. And this playlist is the perfect fuel for doing complex work: https://go.unc.edu/f8R4L Stay tuned for more research week content this month and next! #UNCResearchWeek #UNCResearch #basicscience #foundational #fundamental #unc #gdtbath

The 19th Munin Conference on #ScholarlyPublishing November 26th - November 28th (Tromsø)! An international conference on #scientificcommunication, with “open” as an important aspect - organised annually at UiT- The Arctic University of Norway. In what ways can #education be made more open? What kind of #research practices should be categorized as #openscience? What kind of support do scholar-owned #journals need? How can #qualitativeresearchdata be made more reusable? To discuss these and other questions, come to this year's Munin for a three-day programme full of presentations, workshops and panels. If you are an employee / #student of UiT The Arctic University of Norway, you will be able to attend the plenary sessions for free, without registration. However, if you want lunch/coffee and if you want to be guaranteed a place in a workshop, you can register as an ordinary participant (full conference fees apply). There is also a possibility for UiT-affiliated participants (employees and students) to sign up for a waiting list for workshops and to help out during the conference. Volunteers get lunch and coffee on the days they help out, and they are also invited to the conference reception and dinner. Registration deadline is 11 November. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the organising committee at [email protected]. Sign up and more info: https://lnkd.in/e_F8Uqeb

16th May, I will be defending my PhD project 13.00-16.00 (sharp) about the development of wealth and inequality in Central Europe when herders from the Ukrainian steppe spread across Europe c. 5000 years ago, creating the genetic makeup of most North Europeans today, and most likely also spreading the Indo-European language family (still dominant in Europe today). My thesis also proposes new methods for "measuring" prehistoric wealth. At the defence I will also give a preview of a new app I am developing which easily (and flexibly) calculates grave wealth display and inequality from any grave good dataset, and which is also a platform for accumulating and visualizing grave wealth and inequality data globally throughout human (pre)history. If you come to the reception it would be especially helpful if you click "deltager/participate" on this FB event so I have an idea how much drinks/snacks to buy beforehand. https://lnkd.in/dVkaVWza Opponents will be Volker Heyd (University of Helsinki), Quentin Bourgeois (Leiden University), and Eva Andersson Strand (University of Copenhagen) For those who cannot be there in person, we will try to set up a simple camera and zoom connection, but I cannot guarantee the production quality on that.

Just a reminder that there are only two days left to apply for the 8th Edition of the Social Sciences Winter School in Pondicherry (SSWSP), focusing on "Audiovisual Methodologies in Social Sciences." Apply before September 15th: https://lnkd.in/g_vVaNt4 #Pondicherry #IFP #CESAH #UniversitéPoitiers #SocialSciences #Methodologies
