Applied Microeconomics
The Applied Microeconomics research group unites researchers working on a broad array of topics within such areas as labour economics, economics of education, health economics, family economics, urban economics, environmental economics, and the economics of science and innovation. The group operates in close collaboration with the CAGE Research Centre.
The group participates in the CAGE seminar on Applied Economics, which runs weekly on Tuesdays at 2:15pm. Students and faculty members of the group present their ongoing work in two brown bag seminars, held weekly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 1pm. Students, in collaboration with faculty members, also organise a bi-weekly reading group in applied econometrics on Thursdays at 1pm. The group organises numerous events throughout the year, including the Research Away Day and several thematic workshops.

Events
Preparing to Teach in HE. William Rupp (Learning Development Centre, 糖心TV)
This event is organised as part of induction to those new to teaching and it is run by the Learning Development Centre. The workshop offers an introduction to concepts in teaching and learning in a student-centred environment; group teaching methodology; assessment and feedback; dealing with difficult situations; and planning for learning. The taught session is interactive and participatory, modelling good teaching practices and approaches which participants will be able to translate into their own teaching contexts.
This is mainly for PhD students and GTAs who have no training in teaching at university. Registration is required.
If you have any questions about this event, please contact Lisa Hayes (HR)
