Workshop Overview: In this 2h-workshop, participants will obtain a basic introduction to version control using git and GitHub. Using a sample project, participants will perform some basic git operations in both RStudio and the command line. Emphasis is on sharing code to further reproducible research. Advanced operations, such as those used in software development, will not be demonstrated.
This workshop will introduce the fundamental tool of Industry Analysis which companies use for strategy development. For startups, understanding the industry is a critical step in determining market entry and market positioning. The Five Forces Framework will be presented and applied to during an exercise.

Coding Ateliers
As part of CDSI, the Data Science Solutions Hub (DaS2H) offers Coding Ateliers to the McGill research community, where you can drop-in during atelier hours with your laptop, work on your research project and, whenever you have a question, we would be happy to assist you on the spot. If your question turns out to be a bigger issue that we cannot solve instantly, we will advise you how to best proceed.
The Education Graduate Students' Society (EGSS) is holding its annual conference on March 21 and 22 and is exploring the theme of
Education for Peace and Social Justice: Theory, Research and Praxis
This will mark EGSS's 22nd conference providing graduate students in Education opportunities to learn about each other’s work, exchange ideas, and discuss their research, in order to enhance their academic skills and to grow as professional researchers.
Students across campus showcase their talents through various mediums (painting, digital art, photography, singing, spoken word, etc.).
The art segment of the EGSS conference is structured in 2 parts: a workshop (held on March 21st) and a student art exhibition (March 22).
The activity is also supported by FEEDIC.

In collaboration with the African Studies program and the History Departments, this lecture will explore the politics of historical reckoning in light of the recent clamour for the dememorialization of the legacies of indigenous slave owners in Nigeria. This call started against the background of the desecration and toppling of historical statues and heritage properties that occasion the Rhodes Must Fall protests in South Africa and the Black Lives Matter movements in the United States and parts of Europe.
Workshop Overview: The goal of this workshop is to serve as an introduction to the use of meta-analysis to combine summary data. Specifically, we will cover the different assumptions required and types of analyses one can use when trying to synthesize information from different sources. We will begin by considering the case of estimating a mean for single characteristic from different studies. We will discuss different estimators and diagnostic plots that can be used estimate quantities of interest and to assess the assumptions necessary for proper inference.
Workshop Overview: This workshop will enhance your knowledge of how to work with Git in R. Emphasis is put on collaboration with Git and comparing file versions.
