Students with disability a re the intended beneficiaries\, and their interests are central to Saudi A rabia’s educational transition to an inclusive education system. This stu dy investigates Saudi Arabia’s paradigm shift from special education to i nclusive education\, particularly in relation to students with disability. This study aims to critically investigate Saudi Arabia’s inclusive educa tion policy and the inclusive approach implemented in two girls' primary s chools in light of historical\, cultural\, political and social factors—p articularly within the international context. The research question addres sed in this study centered on what has changed\, in discourse and in pract ice\, in the shift from special education to inclusive education in Saudi Arabia.\n\nThis research adopts a critical qualitative stance while leanin g more towards post-structuralism. The two data collection methods used in clude relevant policy analysis and semi-structured interviews with stakeho lder who are directly involved in the development of the inclusive educati on policy and the implementation of the inclusive approach in schools. A p ost-structural discourse analysis is utilised in this research to investig ate issues of power\, privilege and discourse. This study employed Critica l Policy Analysis in Education (CPAE)(Young & Diem\, 2017) to analyse poli cy documents and Foucauldian discourse analysis (Willig\, 2013) to analyse data gained from interview. Inclusive Education Theory (Slee\, 2011\, 201 8) and Critical Disability Theory (Goodley\, 2011\, 2017) are adopted in t his research to help with conceptualisation\, interpretation and analytic thinking. \n\n\nKeywords: Inclusive education\, special education\, cri tical disability studies\, post-structural analysis\, Saudi Arabia.

Evidence suggests this ‘grievance landscape’ is expan ding\, with more allegations and claims making their way into the public d omain. While community-level grievances in mining have become more visible \, little is known about how companies handle these within the organisatio n. Over the last few decades\, specific high-profile incidents and issues have been handled by mining companies through inquiry processes with a del iberate public interface. This type of company-initiated\, public-facing i nquiry process – which I refer to as “company-commissioned public inquir ies” (CPIs) – is extremely rare. The circumstances that push some compan ies to embark on a public-facing process are unknown. Also unknown are the circumstances preventing companies from using this approach in similar ca ses. My thesis presents one substantial research question and three sub qu estions:\n\n1. Under what circumstances do private mining companies commis sion public inquiries?\n\na. What are the pre-cursor conditions for commis sioning these inquiries?\n\nb. What organisational systems and processes e nable the commissioning?\n\nc. Do a) and b) deviate from the norm? If so\, how?\n\nThis is a social science thesis in the nature of exploratory rese arch\, employing qualitative methods. The research questions are framed by a collection of sociological concepts such as ‘thresholds’ for going pu blic and ‘deviance’ from normative processes. The research is designed t o be executed across four phases: 1) Preparatory research\; 2) Identificat ion of cases\; 3) Key informant interviews\; and 4) Consolidation of findi ngs. Here\, I focus on Phase two: Identification of cases. Little is avail able through research on CPIs as mining companies rarely subject themselve s to a public process of inquiry. While the body of knowledge on governmen t inquiries is extensive as a ‘proxy’ literature\, the pre-cursors to in itiating a public inquiry are not well studied. An analytical set of CPIs in the mining sector was identified to learn as much as possible about the context in which this type of inquiry has occurred in the past. The proce ss of collecting and identifying the set began with existing knowledge and resources within my research team. Next\, I conducted an in-depth\, exhau stive review of academic literature\, global reporting databases\, and off icial records. When a ‘lead’ was identified\, such as an incident or gri evance\, it was cross-referenced with other source materials. Cases were t hen screened using a broad criteria and sorted using a narrow criteria. Th e selection process was systematic\, with the criteria and case set tested and confirmed by other researchers. Over eighty cases were collected\, sc reened and finally sorted into four groups: Core\, secondary\, outlying an d periphery. Establishing the sub groups was not a linear process. Not onl y did it require adjusting and deliberating the criteria but testing socio logical concepts. A method was established to analyse the core set through a comprehensive read of the inquiry final reports. Information related to pre-cursor conditions\, grievances\, initiation\, and triggers was then c oded using the NVivo software. Key themes and gaps identified in the core set are highlighted against the outer sets. This will inform the interview s in Phase three of my research. This thesis will provide new insights int o how mining companies approach community-level grievances and why they ad dress some issues in public and others in private.\n\n*Co-winner of the sh ort video competition DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Short video submissions (View anytime) SUMMARY:Public Displays of Attention: Exploring a Rare Form of Community Gr ievance Handling in the Global Mining Sector - Kathryn Kochan URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/ZSDK8J/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-JSQGDR@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221123T122500 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221123T123000 DESCRIPTION: \nOlder employees are stere otyped as resistant to change\, less capable\, and technophobic (Posthuma & Campion\, 2009). Encountering negative stereotypes can make older emplo yees susceptible to age-based stereotype threat\, or the concern about bei ng reduced to a negative stereotype (Steele & Aronson\, 1995). Older emplo yees’ experiences of stereotype threat were associated with poorer job at titudes and greater intentions to quit (Kulik et al.\, 2016\; von Hippel e t al.\, 2013\; 2019). These negative workplace outcomes are particularly p roblematic in the context of the global labor shortage – a time where bet ter engaging and retaining the aging workforce may help with labor supply and supporting the economy. Although the consequences of stereotype threat are well documented\, we know little about what factors can trigger age-b ased stereotype threat in the workplace. Drawing on three major theories ( stereotype threat\, socioemotional selectivity\, and social comparison the ories)\, we developed and tested a range of potential workplace antecedent s. Given that organizations are multi-level systems\, researchers have cal led for greater practice of multi-level perspectives in organizational res earch (Kozlowski & Klein\, 2000\; Costa et al.\, 2013). Our research exami nes stereotype threat at a higher level of analysis than conducted histori cally\, by collecting multi-source data from both the individual and organ isational level.\n\nWe tested our predictions across two studies among mem bers of an ageing advocacy group and 24 government councils\, totalling 10 86 older employees. At the individual level\, both studies identified 10 k ey antecedents associated with greater feelings of stereotype threat for o lder employees (e.g.\, being overlooked for training opportunities\, feeli ng excluded from the informal social aspects of the workplace). Consistent with previous work\, stereotype threat was associated with poorer job att itudes and greater intentions to quit. To reduce concerns of common method variance and investigate how organisational level variables impact older employees’ feelings of stereotype threat\, we also collected data from yo unger co-workers (40 years old and under\; N = 214) and the HR representat ive from each council. The extent to which the younger co-workers endorsed stereotypes about older workers and the extent to which councils offered HR programs unique to older employees (e.g.\, phased retirement) were not associated with older employees’ stereotype threat. The low intra-class c orrelations (.04 and .05) indicate that the variance between councils is s mall\, but there are large differences between older employees within the same council. These results combined suggest that stereotype threat appear s to be an individual experience with a great level of subjectivity betwee n older employees. \n\nAcross two studies\, we explored 10 key antecedents to age-based stereotype threat for older employees. Identifying the speci fic workplace antecedents can help inform organisational interventions (e. g.\, psychoeducation) to better predict and prevent stereotype threat from occurring\, thereby improving the engagement and retention of the ageing workforce. Adopting a multi-level approach\, we addressed concerns of comm on method variance and gained insight into how organisational level factor s relate to older employees’ stereotype threat. Our findings indicate tha t stereotype threat may be less impacted by organisational level factors\, like younger co-workers’ attitudes or the age-friendly HR programs avail able\, and more impacted by local factors. Future research should investig ate this possibility through narrowing down on the culture/climate at the department or workgroup level and looking at individual differences to exp lain the subjectivity of stereotype threat experiences.\n\n*Co-winner of t he short video competition DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Short video submissions (View anytime) SUMMARY:Engaging and Retaining the Aging Workforce: A Multi-level Approach to Predicting Age-based Stereotype Threat - Sophie Coulon URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/JSQGDR/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-BKMCMA@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221123T123500 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221123T124000 DESCRIPTION: \nQualitative Comparativ e Analysis (QCA) is recognized as a promising research tool for uncovering complex causal processes\, but to date there has been no systemic analysi s of its operationalization in regional development contexts. This literat ure review provides a survey of twenty-six research papers which used QCA spatially to investigate the development of regional innovation systems\, governance and inter-regional flows of knowledge\, trade and investment. S pecific attention was paid to the methods used\, data\, number of observat ions\, identifying and measuring conditions\, modes of analysis and calibr ation into set membership. This review then looks in greater detail at the means by which different studies include the dynamics of change over time . After drawing together some general observations about the usefulness of QCA for regional development questions\, the conclusion suggests areas fo r further development of QCA in regional development.

Given the potential for participant non-respon se increases over the course of a study\, innovative strategies designed t o maximise retention and engagement are required. Contemporary approaches can combine not only monetary reimbursements\, but also leverage a partici pant’s sense of altruism.\n\nIn 2013\, the Department of Health funded th e development of Ten to Men: The Australian Longitudinal Study on Male Hea lth. Originally comprising a sample of around 16\,000 men aged from 10 to 55\, sample loss had been problematic in early waves with over 4\,000 part icipants not responding to Wave 2\, only 1.5 years after Wave 1 was conduc ted. Sample attrition concerns were intensified by a five-year gap between Waves 2 and 3 following a change in study management. \n\nIn 2019\, prepa rations began for approaching the TTM sample for Wave 3 of the study. Prov iding study participants with the most effective incentive offer was a key goal for the Wave 3 approach. Early focus group testing with participants suggested there was an appetite for conscientious study considerations (e .g. responsibly sourced paper for materials). This highlighted the importa nce of considering more than just the amount and type of reimbursement\, b ut also what broader value incentives may hold for participants. \n\nThis paper will focus on the Ten to Men approach to using altruistic incentives to engage longitudinal study participants. For both a pre-fieldwork panel maintenance activity and for our Wave 3 main data collections\, we partne red with relevant charities and provided charitable donations as a partici pant incentive option. We will discuss the value of these partnerships\, h ow this incentive approach was promoted to participants and how they respo nded. We will also highlight the key learnings and how they have impacted planning for future approaches.\n\nRecording link: https://acspri-org-au.z oom.us/rec/share/sFdBbpep0OoacPzm634BiKe4bVY9lbHVDFWPYTVAhPA0z5bW5jP-TMNai TTN1hdG.b2WvY5pK2mJq3Prh?startTime=1669169085000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 3 SUMMARY:Altruistic incentives: why participants want more than dollars and cents - Jennifer Renda\, Deborah Louwen URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/MVE3A7/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-C8XHSK@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221123T130000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221123T131500 DESCRIPTION:Background: Pregnancy\, birth and nurturing a newborn is a tran sformative rite of passage that\, although challenging\, should result in women who acknowledge their strength and feel capable to mother their chil dren. Unfortunately\, research identifies a third of women find their expe rience of pregnancy and birth to be a traumatic experience and are vulnera ble to ongoing psychological issues such as anxiety\, depression\, and PTS D. \nMethods: In this presentation we will share how the collaborative pro cess between a researcher and poet\, using poetry inquiry\, created a coll ection of found poems from open ended survey data. The found poems were cr eated using the written responses from the Australian Birth Experience Stu dy (BESt) survey which was live between March -December 2021 and had 8\,80 4 completed responses. The poetic inquiry analysis was undertaken through reflexive poetry from the poet and through reflection by the researcher an d the poems highlighted women's experiences of traumatic birth.\nFindings: The poems powerfully display themes of lack of control and consent throug h illuminating the voices of the women who shared their traumatic birthing stories.\nDiscussion: The presentation will explore the process of poetry inquiry and the audience will have the opportunity to hear the poet read selected poems. This emotive experience will increase understanding and ra ise awareness in the audience and wider community on the ongoing impact of experiencing birth trauma.\n\nRecording link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom. us/rec/share/hkc5yM1BIR2y-mm1UPVeeHVyAlDgr-uJebIZ_CUn6oTidH3tS2Kkl0RwzrX4d Qmv.jKTgQbhWB-n9tpLD?startTime=1669168931000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 1 SUMMARY:Using poetic inquiry to give voice to women who had a traumatic bir th through bearing witness - Dr Hazel Keedle\, Pixie Willo URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/C8XHSK/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-YKJJVK@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221123T132000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221123T133500 DESCRIPTION:The experience of living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) can be confronting\, challenging and complex. Undergoing centred-based haemodi alysis for 4 to 5 hours\, 3 times a week has a significant impact on peopl e’s lives. This presentation reports on an arts and health research pro cess that sought to understand this experience through the participant’s personal stories. \n\nThe research collected stories from 14 people with C KD\, in a longitudinal qualitative study that used narrative\, ethnodrama and arts-based research methods. Data was collected through observations\ , 47 interviews and / or creative activities\, initially face-to-face and later by telephone due to COVID19 restrictions. The stories were analysed using a narrative analysis and an ethnodramatic process of creating a per formance. This disseminated the findings and was also condensed into an 8 minute film. \n\nThe performed work\, stILL-Life\, involved readings by a ctors\, as well as music\, film and imagery that responded to the collecti ve narrative of the participants. Sharing stories in this way\, deepened understandings of the lived experience\, and amplified the familiar univer sal stories as well as those specific to the dialysis experience. Storytel ling can help us make sense of our experiences\, particularly when signifi cant change and loss disrupts our life path. \n\nThis research recognises the person with CKD as the driver of their unique journey. It demonstra ted the valuable role that the arts can play in understanding the lived ex perience\, and highlights how the arts can enrich and deepen research prac tice.\n\nRecording link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/hkc5yM1BI R2y-mm1UPVeeHVyAlDgr-uJebIZ_CUn6oTidH3tS2Kkl0RwzrX4dQmv.jKTgQbhWB-n9tpLD?s tartTime=1669170103000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 1 SUMMARY:stILL-Life: a research process using story and performance to inves tigate living with kidney disease and receiving haemodialysis. - Leigh Tes ch URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/YKJJVK/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-CLCYD9@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221123T132000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221123T133500 DESCRIPTION:The Likert scale enjoys common usage in fsQCA as a standardised tool for operationalising conceptual models (e.g. TAM\, UTAUT) and collec ting quantitative data to be calibrated into fuzzy scores. However\, the l imited discrete options can restrict the nuance of responses which may lie in-between or beyond provided answers. Respondents may select options tha t do not accurately reflect the magnitude of their views and there is an i ncreased risk of the ceiling effect causing limited data variation. Theore tical concerns exist with using direct algorithmic calibration (involving supply of qualitative anchors for defining values constituting full member ship\, full nonmembership\, and cross-over point) on ordinal measured data from Likert scales as it is intended for interval and ratio data. The sli der scale is proposed as a more robust instrument leveraging set-theoretic and fuzzy logic principles for use in fsQCA.\n\nThe slider scale is a con tinuous rating scale for measuring ratio data (spanning from 0 to 100 in i ncrements of one) whereby respondents drag a digital marker along a horizo ntal quantitative scale to indicate their response. Qualitative descriptor s are distributed across the slider scale in a predetermined order as anch ors covering different ranges of raw values and signposting different leve ls of membership scores. These anchors comprise a rubric description that provides respondents with a clear criteria to self-assess their degree of membership in some variable of interest and reduces uncertainty around how the scale is interpreted. This is useful for variables measurable as sing le-item scales or efficiently aggregating multiple items measuring the sam e variable dimension into one single item. The broader response continuum enables respondents to express their answers with greater precision and gr anularity\, facilitating nuanced differentiation between membership scores . Notably\, scores and qualitative anchors are easily mappable to ordinal scales to accommodate larger-N studies. \n\nStudies have shown the measure ment quality of slider scales are comparable to the reliability and validi ty of Likert scales. Slider scales can be used without materially compromi sing data quality\, are less susceptible to the ceiling effect\, and are m ore likely to yield normally distributed values. Importantly\, there is th e risk of systematic measurement error caused by the starting position of the digital marker and higher non-response rates associated with greater e ffort required to answer questions. These can easily be addressed through careful survey design and piloting feedback.\n\nThe ratio level of measure ment of the slider scale makes it suitable for direct calibration and avoi ds any theoretical issues with using ordinal data from Likert scales. Raw values within the scale range of 0 to 100\, representing the progression f rom full nonmembership to full membership\, naturally captures the monoton ic property of fuzzy sets ranging from 0 to 1 when transformed by some log istic function. The resulting set membership scores and supplied anchors ( whether using variable distribution or substantive criteria) will be more fine-grained from using numeric over categorical data. This reasoning furt her applies to manual and indirect calibration.\n\nA concrete application of the slider scale is presented as part of a pilot study investigating th e causal complexity underpinning clinician acceptability of an artificial intelligence-based diagnostic support tool in real-world medical practice. The findings demonstrate how it can operationalise conceptual models and facilitate set-theoretic\, configurational analysis particularly for explo ratory research where dimensionality is high and sample size is low.\n\nAu thors:\n- Mr David Hua - dhua9758@uni.sydney.edu.au\n- Dr Neysa Petrina - neysa.petrina@sydney.edu.au\n- Dr Simon Poon - simon.poon@sydney.edu.au\n\ nRecording link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/bMvRMHyt1mxBmr3v9 JEMtzw40XMlR7ie_q-pDBV0BwdJ1Nf47TlmI5mkRiBW5d4n.4ITWOzq9QFTcwMgN?startTime =1669170286000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 2 SUMMARY:Using slider scales for fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA): a fuzzy-set-theoretic approach to measuring degrees of membership - David Hua URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/CLCYD9/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-GMGDNA@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221123T132000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221123T133500 DESCRIPTION:When running an online probability panel complications can aris e when trying to conduct concurrent cross-sectional and longitudinal surve ys. These complications occur when trying to balance the needs of the two differing designs. Longitudinal designs aim to maximise the number of pane llists that are surveyed repeatedly. Whereas cross-sectional designs are a iming to take a snapshot of the population\, so representativeness of the sample is paramount. The presentation offers a solution that allows for bo th of the needs to be met at the same time\, motivated by the needs of the ANUpoll\, which is fielded on Life in Australia™. The ANUpoll makes exte nsive use of the longitudinal nature of Life in Australia™\, where most o ther surveys fielded on Life in Australia™ are cross-sectional in nature. Our approach uses a propensity model based on diverse panel variables\, i ncluding but not limited to demographic and lifestyle variables. The model allows for matching between the cross-sectional and longitudinal sample m embers\, which are then swapped to maximise the longitudinal sample member s in the longitudinal sample\, without introducing bias into the cross-sec tional sample.\n\nRecording link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/ sFdBbpep0OoacPzm634BiKe4bVY9lbHVDFWPYTVAhPA0z5bW5jP-TMNaiTTN1hdG.b2WvY5pK2 mJq3Prh?startTime=1669170194000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 3 SUMMARY:Balancing Longitudinal and Cross-Sectional Considerations for Proba bility Online Panels - Jack Barton URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/GMGDNA/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-MHP8D8@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221123T134000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221123T135500 DESCRIPTION:Collecting high-quality data on queer minorities is vital to un derstand and address inequalities. Indeed\, the benefits of queer-inclusiv e research are twofold\; first\, it provides nuanced data for researchers and policymakers\; and second\, it enhances the participant experience by ensuring their engagement with the study validates their lived experience. However\, challenges remain to conducting queer-inclusive research and co llecting high-quality data on queer minorities. \nThe very nature of longi tudinal studies\, which seek to maintain consistent and repeatable measure s over time\, presents an even greater challenge to appropriately capturin g queerness. This paper describes how Growing Up in Australia: The Longitu dinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC)\, a biennial longitudinal study following 10\,000 children aged 0-5 years since 2003\, recently adapted co ntent to be more inclusive of queer minorities. It further explores the ch allenges to queer representation that remain.\nDuring the development of W ave 10\, when participants will be aged between 19 and 24 years\, the LSAC Survey Methodology team reviewed all content to ensure it was inclusive o f diverse queer experiences. There were several lenses by which content wa s reviewed: \nUpdating gender and sexual orientation descriptors: To ensu re gender and sexual orientation descriptors were current and adhered to b est practice\, multiple stakeholders (including queer youth advocacy group s) were consulted in the process of updating response options. \nModifying items that “other”: Items that assume heteronormativity and cisnormativ ity can leave queer participants feeling “othered”. To prevent this\, it ems were reviewed and modified to remove heteronormative and cisnormative assumptions. For example\, sexual activity items were modified to capture the full range of sexual experiences without establishing a hierarchy of a ctivities. Pregnancy and parenting items were modified to be inclusive of same-sex couples and people who are trans or gender diverse. \nRemoving ge ndered language: Items were reviewed\, and all unnecessarily gendered lang uage was removed. For example\, “his/her” was modified to “their”\, an d “maternity/paternity leave” was modified to “parental” leave. \nWhil e content changes such as these mark progress in queer inclusivity\, chall enges to queer representation remain. For example\, quantitative research requires the use of categories and labels\, limiting the scope of self-ide ntification. Standardised measures are preferred for their validity and cr oss-sample comparability\, and small sample sizes restrict the scope of an alyses. Further\, some measures score men and women differently\, with no scoring options for people who are gender diverse.\nQueer inclusivity is a n important goal\, and researchers should not be discouraged by the challe nges and limitations. Taking steps to capture diverse queer experiences is vital\, and reluctance to modify measures in a longitudinal study should not get in the way of progress. Longitudinal studies that evolve alongside participants are more likely to maintain high response rates from diverse participants and capture more meaningful data. This produces better quali ty data which is essential for describing and explaining inequalities.\n\n https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/hkc5yM1BIR2y-mm1UPVeeHVyAlDgr-uJeb IZ_CUn6oTidH3tS2Kkl0RwzrX4dQmv.jKTgQbhWB-n9tpLD?startTime=1669171317000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 1 SUMMARY:Thinking Outside the Closet: Opening the Door to Queer Representati on in Longitudinal Research - Anna Scovelle URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/MHP8D8/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-S3JJ9N@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221123T134000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221123T135500 DESCRIPTION:Longitudinal researchers face multiple design challenges\, ofte n with limited resources. This presentation details a unique approach to a ddressing some of these challenges in Ten to Men: The Australian Longitudi nal Study on Male Health. By strategically reusing and modifying our field work materials\, methodology and incentive approaches\, we used a single f ieldwork period to collect data from our main sample\, re-engage lost part icipants\, pilot a new survey format\, and test retention rates for recent ly recruited top-up pilot participants.\n\nTen to Men\, which is funded by the Department of Health and Aged Care\, began in 2013. The fieldwork act ivities outlined in this session occurred as part of Wave 4 of the study ( August - November 2022). Novel activities included: a shortened survey ver sion as a ‘mop up’ method for non-responding participants\; using this s hortened survey to re-engage participants who had not responded to previou s waves\; combining the survey with a novel dietary tool to pilot a modula rised content approach\; and testing retention rates for a pilot top-up sa mple recruited in early 2022.\n\nThis approach also presented challenges. With differing fieldwork start and end dates\, survey lengths and incentiv e strategies for each group\, we needed to carefully design public-facing materials including participant letters\, brochures\, and participant info rmation on our website. We also carefully designed and validated each surv ey type to ensure it was appropriate to its target group.\n\nIn this prese ntation\, we provide background on the Ten to Men study\, and discuss in d etail how we arrived at this simultaneous Wave 4 fieldwork approach. We ex plore the opportunities and challenges of taking four sub-studies to field and share our learnings from this experience.\n\nRecording link: https:// acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/sFdBbpep0OoacPzm634BiKe4bVY9lbHVDFWPYTVAhP A0z5bW5jP-TMNaiTTN1hdG.b2WvY5pK2mJq3Prh?startTime=1669171227000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 3 SUMMARY:There’s methodology in our madness: creating efficiency and opport unity by taking four diverse sub-cohorts to field - Kipling Walker\, Lenne ke Broeze URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/S3JJ9N/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-7FV87U@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221123T140000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221123T141500 DESCRIPTION:Contemporary Australian social research—particularly for spec ific localities—faces a variety of challenges. The rapid decline in landl ine use and decline in telephone survey production rates means that random digit dialling (RDD) telephone surveys are impractical for all but the la rgest states. Although nonprobability online access panels offer rapid and inexpensive access to sample\, error is greater than probability samples and regional quotas may be hard or even impossible to meet. Face-to-face s urveys have become more challenging as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic\, with the Australian Bureau of Statistics increasingly transitioning away from this mode.\n\nAddress-based sampling (A-BS) was developed in the U.S . as a response to the challenge of declining landline coverage. Although it was eclipsed in popularity by dual-frame RDD as a response to this chal lenge\, it has proved to be enduring in the longer-term in the face of dec lining telephone survey production rates. In this paper\, we address consi derations in the conduct of A-BS surveys in Australia. A-BS surveys are la rgely insulated from the decline in telephone survey production by the use of mail as a primary means of contact\, typically in sequential multi-mod e design (push-to-web then hard copy).\n\nThe Geo-coded National Address F ile (G-NAF) is used as the sampling frame for A-BS surveys fielded by the Social Research Centre (SRC). The G-NAF is the authoritative source of inf ormation on physical addresses in Australia. It combines address informati on from multiple official sources\, including state and territory land age ncies\, the electoral roll and Australia Post in one dataset. It is manage d by Geoscape Australia (previously the Public Sector Mapping Authority) a nd accessible under open data terms through data.gov.au. We provide an ove rview of how we draw samples from the G-NAF\, including:\n• Reconciling r ecords from multiple sources.\n• Validating the address is specific enoug h to be delivered to a single residence (as opposed to a block of apartmen ts).\n• Appending Australia Post Delivery Point Identifiers (uniquely ide ntifies a physical point to which Australia Post delivers mail).\n• Washi ng non-residential addresses (factory\, car space\, office\, shed\, etc) a nd deduplicating addresses.\n• Statistical sampling to achieve an even di stribution within strata.\n• Using expected stratum-level response rates to estimate the final achieve sample.\n\nWe also describe field methods. T he SRC has used two different protocols with differing levels of response maximisation based around engagement and reminder activities. \n\nFinally\ , we address strengths and weaknesses of A-BS using the G-NAF. Strengths i nclude higher response rates than are possible under a telephone design\, likely greater longevity than telephone surveys and ability to target smal l areas. Weaknesses include high cost (particularly for designs that seek to maximise response rates)\, over-representation of older adults\, the mo re highly educated and women\, extended time in field and difficulties imp lementing within-household selection procedures.\n\nRecording link: https: //acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/sFdBbpep0OoacPzm634BiKe4bVY9lbHVDFWPYTVA hPA0z5bW5jP-TMNaiTTN1hdG.b2WvY5pK2mJq3Prh?startTime=1669172420000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 3 SUMMARY:Address-based sampling using the Geo-coded National Address File - Shane Compton\, Joseph Daffy URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/7FV87U/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-8RRQGL@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221123T140000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221123T141500 DESCRIPTION:Both businesses and the Australian Bureau of Statistic (ABS) wa nt to use more contemporary methods to communicate and to supply data to e ach other. The ABS has several methods of communicating with business data providers (‘providers’)\, termed correspondence. We assumed there is a positive relationship between fit-for-purpose contemporary correspondence and provider satisfaction. Furthermore\, we hypothesised that provider sat isfaction will have a positive impact on provider behaviour\, potentially reducing follow-up work and costs. This project took a Human-Centred Desig n approach to investigate the experiences of providers regarding ABS corre spondence. We consulted ABS internal stakeholders both as internal users a nd as sources of provider insights for this project. The project followed a divergent/convergent-thinking Double Diamond method. A core principle of the Human-Centred Design method is to establish the user needs before sta rting to design solutions. Therefore\, the directions of this project were determined by the information uncovered in the ‘Discovery’ phase and re fined through testing with providers. The results found providers prefer a modern\, integrated\, digital experience. Including coloured text\, infog raphics\, and visual instructions. A strong variation emerged in needs and expectations between new-to-survey-collection providers (and those ‘inhe riting’ the collection within their business from former colleagues) and continuing providers. Providers preferred having a short\, plain language explanation of the collection’s compulsory nature\, and for this to be cl ear from initial correspondence through to final reminder. In earlier phas es of the project\, providers strongly indicated the importance of underst anding the value and relevance of the collection to their industry. Howeve r\, prototype testing found it was considered a ‘nice to have’. Our resu lts show that provider experience could be improved by correspondence inte grating with providers’ business processes in a more modern way. There is an inherent tension between providers understand their obligation to subm it their data and providers having a positive experience. Both may influen ce provider behaviour. Careful consideration on timing of correspondence\, design elements with minimal and more visually focused content\, and over all contact strategies is important. This includes varying contact prefere nces and considering the complexities inherent with the wide range of diff erent business sizes and industries across ABS business survey collections .

It focuses on how I applied the abstract philosophy of critical realism as a concrete and pra ctical framework for empirical research. Therefore\, it profiles the criti cal realist-informed methodological and analytical process I used to move from empirical statistical data analysis to develop a theoretical model ex plaining why some Australian families become homeless\, and others do not. The paper demonstrates the role of critical realism in informing and defi ning my research approach and study design.\n\nCritical realism offers a s trong critique of positivism\, yet statistical methods are usually associa ted with a more positivist-leaning philosophy of science. Therefore\, a ce ntral objective of the presentation will be to summarise my arguments for the appropriate use of statistical methods within a critical realist parad igm and provide an example of how I did this. \n\nFirst\, I outline severa l core foundations of critical realism\, in plain English. These include w hat critical realism has to say about the nature of the social world (onto logy) and how we can know it (epistemology). I show the impact of these ph ilosophical principles on my understanding of a complex and contingent cau sal complexity\, conceptualisation of the relationship between structure a nd agency\, and the increasing adoption of an interdisciplinary approach t o my inherently sociological research. \n\nSecond\, I outline the two data analysis stages of my approach. 1) Empirical Analysis. The initial focus was to use quantitative data to develop a description of the nature\, char acteristics and relationships defining family homelessness in Australia. I used a mixture of descriptive statistics and panel regression techniques on ABS Estimation of Homelessness\, Specialist Homelessness Service admini strative\, and Journeys Home longitudinal survey data. In these analyses\, I was looking for characteristics and patterns that suggest the presence of structures\, mechanisms and contexts relevant to answering the core res earch question of the thesis: what are the causal mechanisms of contempora ry ‘cultural’ homelessness for disadvantaged Australian families with ch ildren? 2) Theoretical analysis. Due to the ontological commitments of cri tical realism\, we must explain what we observe by theorising the unobserv able causal mechanisms produced by the generative powers of social structu res (the social objects making up our social world). Developing explanator y theories\, therefore\, involves processes of abstraction and inference. First\, to conceptually understand the nature of homelessness—the interna l and external relations that define it—through structural analysis. Then \, to explain why homelessness occurs—by asking ‘what makes homelessness possible’—by theorising through casual analysis the necessary and suffi cient causal mechanisms and conditions responsible.\n\nRecording link: htt ps://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/bMvRMHyt1mxBmr3v9JEMtzw40XMlR7ie_q-pD BV0BwdJ1Nf47TlmI5mkRiBW5d4n.4ITWOzq9QFTcwMgN?startTime=1669172442000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 2 SUMMARY:Critical realist empirical research: operationalising a philosophy as a methodology in quantitative research - Dr Catherine Hastings URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/3YFXZ7/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-XMLHR7@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221123T142000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221123T143500 DESCRIPTION:Family socioeconomic position (SEP) has a marked influence on t he characteristics of children’s lives and is a key concept for understan ding child health and educational outcomes. Diversity of family forms has increased both internationally and in Aotearoa New Zealand\, including a g rowth in the prevalence of single-parent and stepparent families. Despite this\, there has been little research examining the best approaches to mea suring family-level SEP to model child outcomes\, particularly for diverse families and in Aotearoa New Zealand. \nThis presentation will describe r esearch conducted to address this shortfall by examining a range of approa ches to measuring family SEP for children of different ages and living in a range of family types. Data were accessed using the Integrated Data Infr astructure\, a collection of deidentified administrative data sets for the full New Zealand population linked at the individual level. Family struct ure and SEP data (education\, occupation\, and income) were sourced from t he 2013 Census\, while data on health and educational outcomes were source d from birth records\, b4 school check data\, and secondary schools data. The risk of low birth weight and preterm birth (perinatal period)\, dental caries and obesity (preschoolers) and educational achievement (teenagers) were modelled.\nAnalyses revealed inconsistent results regarding the best approaches to incorporating the SEP of biological parents for modelling b irth outcomes. Analyses were more consistent for modelling outcomes for pr eschoolers and teenagers. For these groups\, the socioeconomic resources o f both resident and non-resident biological parents\, as well as resident stepparents\, appeared to influence child outcomes for children living wit h two-resident parents\, children living in single-parent families with an identifiable non-resident parent\, and children living in stepparent fami lies with an identifiable non-resident parent (this family type was only e xamined for teenagers). Overall\, this research demonstrated that it was i mportant to incorporate the socioeconomic information from all identifiabl e resident biological parents\, resident stepparents\, and non-resident bi ological parents to adequately characterise the SEP of families when model ling child outcomes.\n\nRecording link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/ share/sFdBbpep0OoacPzm634BiKe4bVY9lbHVDFWPYTVAhPA0z5bW5jP-TMNaiTTN1hdG.b2W vY5pK2mJq3Prh?startTime=1669173689000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 3 SUMMARY:Comparing approaches to specifying family SEP to model child outcom es in Aotearoa New Zealand - Natalia Boven URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/XMLHR7/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-UA98GJ@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221123T150000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221123T163000 DESCRIPTION:Researchers in Indigenous communities need to understand the hi story and trauma associated with the act of research.

As health services continue to grapple with the problem of unsafe care\, collaborative approaches to healthcare improvement (such as co-des ign and co-production) have been promoted to encourage the bottom-up engag ement of multiple stakeholders – including practitioners\, patients\, fam ily members\, and researchers – in improving care. Although collaboration is emphasised\, conflict\, dissonance and other tensions can still arise from the range of perspectives\, priorities and power dynamics involved. C are\, therefore\, is also central to collaborative research\, in health.\n \nIn this panel discussion\, we draw on different international studies to describe practices of care that support collaborative and reflexive pract ice improvement using video-reflexive ethnography (VRE). In particular\, w e showcase how transformative learning and improvement can be facilitated through the reflexive analysis of video footage of everyday healthcare pra ctices. In VRE\, both participants and researchers become vulnerable throu gh having their behaviours\, understandings\, and assumptions questioned o r challenged. This scrutiny and critical reflexivity require acts of care\ , in turn\, to foster the psychological safety of all involved.\n\nWe will discuss\, deliberate on\, and debate how VRE researchers and participants care for each other during fieldwork and reflexive discussions in ways th at mirrored how they usually care for colleagues\, patients\, and family m embers. Through dialogue\, we will demonstrate how attention to care is a skill\, not only central to healthcare\, but also to the kinds of inclusiv e and collaborative practices that enable meaningful and sustained learnin g and improvement.\n\nRecording link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/sh are/DQyFemhYuHAtiF8VAZtGHthBD7bhJIKNDV36yYAKbW1RoSCVLBHumyMwcDiYeOtK.YNzP6 nTeuurd-mnV?startTime=1669176057000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 1 SUMMARY:Enabling care in healthcare improvement through video-reflexive eth nography - Ann Dadich\, Suyin Hor\, Jessica Mesman\, Michael Gionfriddo\, Christy Noble\, Mary Wyer\, Joanne Hilder URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/HTKGWH/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-WQUBYV@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221123T150000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221123T163000 DESCRIPTION:Sample surveys are a common way to collect data and make infere nces about a population of interest. Stakeholders and users of the data of ten need to evaluate or inform policies at the local area level\, and addi tional requirements may later arise that were unknown at the survey design stage. Cost considerations necessarily limit the number of surveys that c an be collected at the local level\, so that standard survey estimation te chniques often yield unreliable results when applied to local areas (such as Local Government Areas\, LGAs).\n\n“Small area” statistical methods h ave been developed for these situations\, where the survey data alone is t oo scarce to yield reliable estimates. The methods work by combining perso n-level data (from the survey) with area-level auxiliary data (from the Au stralian Census of Population and Housing\, for instance) to improve the r eliability of estimates. The survey data is used to calculate the contempo rary\, quantitative relationships between respondent characteristics and t he survey’s key outcome variables. These relationships are then “project ed” onto each individual area\, using the area-level auxiliary data\, to generate reliable estimates that reflect the population characteristics of each area. This approach makes maximum use of the available survey and au xiliary data and ensures that results for each area are as reliable and re presentative as possible.\n\nThis workshop will give an overview of consid erations\, methods\, tools and outputs for small area estimation. Topics c overed will include the following:\n * Design considerations\, including questionnaire items and sources of auxiliary data\;\n * Preparation of su rvey and auxiliary data for modelling\;\n * Model building and production of estimates\; and\n * Options for presentation and visualisation of res ults.\n\nMaterial and examples will focus on models for small *areas*\, bu t mention will also be made of small *groups* in the population to which t he same techniques can be applied. Comments will be made about implementat ion of the methods in R\, including package recommendations\, but referenc es to the applicable literature will be provided to enable working with ot her software.\n\nThe target audiences for the workshop are policy makers a nd quantitative researchers who have an interest in getting more detailed results from their surveys\, along with survey analysts wishing to expand their statistical capabilities and tools.\n\nRecording link: https://acspr i-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/sFdBbpep0OoacPzm634BiKe4bVY9lbHVDFWPYTVAhPA0z5b W5jP-TMNaiTTN1hdG.b2WvY5pK2mJq3Prh?startTime=1669176151000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 3 SUMMARY:Combining Census and survey data to create reliable local-area esti mates - Andrew Ward URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/WQUBYV/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-DX7YPE@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221123T170000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221123T171500 DESCRIPTION:This paper presents the first findings from a small Australian probability-based online panel\, a pilot we designed to support a larger p anel we plan for 2023. Trialling a dual-frame sampling strategy\, while al so conducting two recruitment experiments\, we examine initial response ou tcomes and subsequent attrition for various samples and treatment groups. Using data from the first two waves\, we test the representativeness of th e entire sample\, and all relevant subsamples\, against benchmarks from th e Australian census and several other Australian surveys. We use the usual demographics—age\, gender\, education—but also measures such as employm ent status\, well-being or health. In wave two\, we test different longitu dinal incentives\, focussing on the impact of loss aversion and present bi as on retention. With more waves planed\, we will trial several questionna ire designs and run additional experiments. \n \nA probability sample of a bout 600 adults was recruited from the Australian electoral roll (through listed addresses) and from the population of Australian mobile owners (thr ough RDD). Respondents were enrolled in the panel after completing the fir st wave questionnaire. Panel members were asked to complete an online ques tionnaire in each wave\, with no other response modes offered (push-to-web only). Initial contacts occurred through letters\, postcards\, and SMS te xt messages\; subsequent contacts occurred through email. \n \nWe conducte d two recruitment experiments to refine our strategy for the larger panel we are planning.

As a research method\, the approach typically involves archival re search and semi-structured interviews - employing the research techniques of both the historian and the political scientist - to understand the impa ct of institutional legacies on the present. I have used historical instit utionalism to analyse industry policy over time for cross-national compari sons of transport and telecommunications policies and have found the appro ach effective at the meso-level of analysis. Recently\, however\, I have a pplied this approach to the macro-level in geopolitics (to understand inst itutional exhaustion)\, and I am currently developing a research project f ocused on the micro-level to understand how institutions influence the dev elopment of military doctrine through a case study of operational tactics.

Critical thinking is considered a goal-oriented thinking skill that opt imises language learning processes and enhances learning outcomes. This re search aimed to examine the incorporation of critical thinking into Englis h language classrooms. It specifically focused on classroom teaching strat egies and activities employed by English language teachers to apply critic al thinking in their teaching practices. A mixed methods research design i ntegrating quantitative and qualitative strategies was adopted. An online survey was first administered to explore teacher perceptions of classroom application of critical thinking. Fifty English language teachers teaching across six English programs in one higher education institution in Thaila nd were involved in the survey phase. A qualitative case study of 11 teach ers was subsequently conducted. The qualitative participants were individu ally interviewed to gain more insights into their classroom practices. Dat a analyses revealed that participants mainly incorporated critical thinkin g by teaching the skills of making arguments supported with reasons or evi dence\, giving reasons logically\, applying creative thinking\, and making a fair judgement. The strategies and activities that were mostly applied in the participants' classrooms were questioning\, discussions\, presentat ions\, debates\, essay writing\, and project works. The findings seem to suggest that English teachers' teaching practices were aligned with the cu rriculum development. However\, the data indicated participants' varying l evels of confidence and degree of uncertainty to implement critical thinki ng in a certain class\, particularly with low-proficient learners of Engli sh. Discussion of the findings and the implications for English language t eachers and the English teaching sector were presented.\n\nRecording link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/kl7zX6HT6bPlwSMdjyCiajLHw64xPnP09 -fMoKjKQO1L8aMGwJyJs4Fws2C-5g8.8Ec3XepltHW7qMWn?startTime=1669183287000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 1 SUMMARY:How do English language teachers incorporate critical thinking as a strategy to drive learning outcomes? - Sudarat Srirak URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/ZQCWGT/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-NVSQHL@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221123T172000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221123T173500 DESCRIPTION:The Tasmania Project was established in 2020 by the Institute f or Social Change (ISC) at the University of Tasmania (UTAS). The main aim of the project has been to give Tasmanians a voice and to gather important information that can support good decisions made by and for the community . The project uses a volunteer sample of adult Tasmanian residents\, curre ntly consisting of about 4\,100 registered panellists\, who participate in 3-4 online surveys a year. To date\, 15 surveys have been conducted as pa rt of The Tasmania Project.\nOver time\, the project used the majority of the main nonprobability sampling approaches to recruitment of survey parti cipants\, including self-selection\, purposive\, convenience and snowball sampling. Since April 2020\, the study has been advertised across various social media\, and on the UTAS and the ISC websites. At the start of the p roject\, various other media\, such as three major newspapers\, digital me dia\, commercial radio stations and television\, were used to promote the research project and to encourage Tasmanians to fill out an expression-of- interest form. Also\, to recruit an underrepresented subpopulation for a p articular survey project in late-2020\, targeted Facebook ads were used.\n In 2022\, we expanded the range of recruitment approaches to refresh the p anel and to improve sample representativeness. We used other mailing lists \, such as the UTAS student mailing list\, to recruit survey participants who were invited to register as panellists at the end of the questionnaire s. We also tested snowball sampling as a recruitment approach by encouragi ng The Tasmania Project survey participants to share an anonymous link to the questionnaire with other adult Tasmanians (such as family\, friends\, colleagues).\nThis presentation will discuss the nonprobability-based recr uitment approaches used in The Tasmania Project between April 2020 and Sep tember 2022. I will also present the recruitment results of using those fu ndamentally different nonprobability approaches from three perspectives: r ecruitment outcomes (sample sizes)\, attrition over time\, and representat ion bias.

This paper explores how researchers from similar backgrounds can use semi-structured interview s as an effective way to gain a deeper understanding about a practice that has not been acknowledged by the government and is rarely discussed in pu blic. Considering the sensitive nature of this topic within Pakistani soci ety and the ethical fragility of this kind of research which is pursued th rough western academic institutions or university settings\; it is essenti al to acknowledge the cultural notions involved in research design methodo logy. This paper takes a closer look at why narratives or story-telling co ncepts can be useful in gathering data about non-white cultures and commun ities. These ideas will be investigated through an ongoing thesis title\, “Political invisibility of Female Genital Cutting in Pakistani society: U nderstanding this tradition and its implications on women in the Dawoodi B ohra community”. The research design includes interviews of women who had FGC performed on them as young girls\, and it uncovers the complexities a nd sensitives that need to be considered when analysing or presenting this data. This research design is based on the premise that there are no gove rnment statements\, statistics or discussions about FGC in Pakistan\; and therefore\, this research is a qualitative stepping stone towards collecti ng data about this cultural practice which is shrouded in secrecy. It exam ines FGC within a close-knit community of Pakistan known as Dawoodi Bohras and establishes a nuanced understanding of qualitative data in cultural s ettings. In essence\, it outlines the significance of story-telling and sh aring during interviews which leads to useful qualitative data analysis. \ n\nKeywords: Female Genital Cutting\, Qualitative Data\, Culture\, Public Dialogue\n\nRecording link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/kl7zX6 HT6bPlwSMdjyCiajLHw64xPnP09-fMoKjKQO1L8aMGwJyJs4Fws2C-5g8.8Ec3XepltHW7qMWn ?startTime=1669184554000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 1 SUMMARY:Using Qualitative Interviews to Find Data or Answers in Cultural Co mmunities? - Huda Shakil Ahmad Syyed URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/BNYFFB/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-ATW73K@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221123T172000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221123T173500 DESCRIPTION:Double Machine Learning (DML) is a causal machine learning meth od that promises substantial benefits when estimating average treatment ef fects in observational data\, particularly where existing theory is too we ak to identify controls or justify a quasi-experimental approach. DML bene fits from much of the power and flexibility of predictive models\, while a lso giving the unbiased causal estimates of traditional regression approac hes. However\, in-practice it often involves relaxing causal identificatio n assumptions\, assuming algorithms will correctly identify controls in hi gh-dimensional datasets.\n\nExplicitly constraining model fitting with a c ausal graph (a diagram laying out which variables cause changes in which) is one solution that has been suggested for better causal identification\, but the benefits of this approach are yet to be established and a proper methodology for constructing them has not been laid out (excluding data-dr iven causal discovery which has its own serious drawbacks).\n\nThis presen tation looks at where DML can be useful in the social sciences and where w e might be able to draw in qualitative data to build causal graphs and imp rove inference. It covers two studies\, one on returns of education and on e on the effect of private schooling on standardised testing performance. In both cases\, causal graphs were constructed by interviewees with varyin g levels of background knowledge and models fit under these constraints we re compared with unconstrained models. The return on education study used instrumental variables to get yardstick causal estimates for comparison. T he private schooling study uses semi-synthetic data to establish ground tr uth. While both cases have good existing theory\, relying only on intervie ws tests whether it is possible to build pragmatic causal assumptions even when theory is poor (as this is often when DML is used).\n\nIn both studi es\, constrained and unconstrained DML estimation performed roughly equall y well on large samples\, though unconstrained models performed worse on s mall subsamples (n = 1000). Importantly\, even a basic level of background knowledge outperformed unconstrained DML in these cases. Combining up mul tiple graphs into one further reduced bias.\n\nUnconstrained DML seems to be a useful approach where identification is achieved through control-on-o bservables and where the sample size is large. However\, a mixed-methods a pproach where qualitative data is used to shape causal assumptions may imp rove estimation where large samples are not available.\n\nRecording link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/fe80_c8_scf5yQJEY_Vv6vJ6R7XFjJUKwZ nkpSbPOus_gP1IIKiSQO8FF_LSLDiZ.j0lwiy1bIA1ehAAO?startTime=1669184550000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 2 SUMMARY:Combining qualitative data and causal machine learning for better e stimation - Patrick Rehill URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/ATW73K/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-C9E3GA@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221123T174000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221123T175500 DESCRIPTION:An educational research can be explorative or transformative. T he former aims to explore an educational phenomenon in order to increase t he existing knowledge about it\; the latter\, which can be specifically de fined as educative\, introduces new hypothetically meaningful experiences into educational contexts and then investigates them. When an educative re search involves children\, it takes the form of a research “for”\, and n ot only “with”\, children\, because it not only aims to acquire data fro m them\, but also\, and first of all\, it aims to provide them with someth ing good\, by proposing activities designed to enhance their flourishing. Following the naturalistic epistemology (Lincoln and Guba\, 1985)\, a priv ileged context to study the educational phenomena\, and then to set an edu cative research\, is the scholastic one. Our purpose for the conference is to present the design\, ethics and method of a research for children in s chool.\nThis type of research is designed to have both an educative goal\, i.e. to enhance children’s flourishing by involving them in positive edu cative activities\, and a heuristic goal\, i.e. to rigorously study what e ffectively emerges in terms of the children’s development resulting from the realized educative activities\, hence the used instruments must have t his double valence. \nThe design and realization of a research for childre n should be guided by the ethics of care (Mortari\, 2022a)\, which require s the researcher to seek the benefit of the participants by making the res earch time a good time for them and to engage in ethically oriented behavi ors that include a true listening to the children\, and this requires to b racket prejudices and expectations\, and to give them time to express thei r thoughts\, and this requires to construct with them a positive relations hip\, based on respect and trust.\nA suitable method for the researches ca rried out in educational contexts is the phenomenological one\, which requ ires researchers to maintain their attention faithful to the considered ph enomena (Husserl\, 2012) in order to construct a descriptive theory to exp lain them by acting the epistemological principle of “epoché”\, i.e. by bracketing all the previous knowledge about the object of study. The phen omenological method searches for the essence of the phenomena\, however\, in the empirical research the essence that is searched for is not the eide tic one\, which is general and necessary and then shared by all the phenom ena of the same type\, but the essence of the concreteness\, which is cont ingent and situated and then shared only by the phenomena analyzed in the research. According to this empirical phenomenological method (Mortari\, 2 022b)\, the process of qualitative data analysis follows successive steps of labeling and categorization\, with the purpose to elaborate a theory wh ich is grounded in the investigated phenomena\, not generalizable but stil l useful to better understand similar educational contexts. \nExamples of researches for children following the empirical phenomenological method an d regarding ethical and emotional education in school will be presented. \ n\nReferences\n\n- Husserl\, E.

It is important to understand how social media are facilitating or impedi ng political deliberation\, a process whereby individuals with differing p erspectives and opinions engage in discussion\, potentially revising their opinions upon hearing the arguments of others. This presentation outlines new research into political deliberation on Twitter. We used a set of deb ate- and election-related hashtags to first undertake a large-scale collec tion of tweets authored during the first 2020 US presidential debate. We t hen used the v2 Twitter API (accessed via the voson.tcn R package) to coll ect the wider Twitter conversations that these tweets were part of\, so ou r final dataset also included debate-related tweets that did not feature t he target hashtags. The data collection resulted in a dataset of over 11K conversations (with each conversation represented as a tree network with a “conversation starter” tweet as the root node and all the subsequent re plies and replies-to-replies). We then implemented an approach for constru cting random samples of root-to-leaf interaction sequences extracted from these conversations\, with the samples being used for subsequent qualitati ve coding of discussion dynamics. This presentation provides an overview o f the conversation data collection and sampling approach and then outlines some preliminary findings regarding the deliberative nature of Twitter ac tivity during the first debate\, constructing a measure of deliberation in volving the depth and breadth of conversation tree networks.\n\nRecording link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/jG2oPYAxGbCXdVm76fy6IhAi4brx wMoxOeP2QCK3nrPdeQ5j9wU0fMRuutuGsktE.GGS6vN76zGxbrfPv?startTime=1669184529 000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 3 SUMMARY:Characterising Political Discussion Networks on Twitter - Robert Ac kland URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/9UXLDA/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-KWEVXY@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221123T174000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221123T175500 DESCRIPTION:Current topic modelling algorithms have proven useful for the a nalysis of\nlarge volumes of text. But despite their utility it can still be challenging\nto make use of topic modelling\, especially for projects r equiring a more\ninterpretive approach. These challenges include awkward c omputational\nworkflows with long iteration cycles\, limited affordances f or editing and\ninterrogating the resulting models after they have been bu ilt\, difficulty\ninterpreting the resulting models\, and the difficulty o f operationalising\ncomplex numerical models as part of an answer to a res earch question.\n\nTo address these shortcomings we have taken a step back from the conventional\nprobablistic or linear algebraic approaches to top ic modelling and developed\na new approach using a much simpler foundation of boolean information\nretrieval and basic clustering of words into grou ps. Despite giving up on\nmuch of the mathematical sophistication of exist ing approaches our approach\nenables a new class of dynamic interaction be tween analyst and topic model\,\nand hopefully allowing for a more concret e link between the created model and\nthe research question.\n\nWe have im plemented a prototype of our approach as a Python toolkit enabling\nusage as a software library\, command line tool\, or through a web interface\nfo r interactivity.

However\, stereotyped responses\, or answers which are clichés or platitudes\, can limit the usefulness of the interview data\, with conventionally conducte d “question-answer” interviews potentially rendered meaningless should e mployees be too guarded in their interactions. This suggests researchers m ay need to look beyond conventional data collection techniques when interv iewing employees\, using a concept card technique. Although more commonly used in health and education settings\, a concept card technique\, being a n extension of photo-elicitation\, is one approach which may be helpful wh en interviewing in the workplace. \n\nAim: Much of the research on photo-e licitation\, and the related use of concept cards\, has focused more on th e outcomes (result) of employing the approach to interviewing\, rather tha n how (process) to use the method. It has even been suggested reason rese archers have favoured alternative methods over photo-elicitation is the la ck of pragmatic guidance regarding how to use the approach. As such\, the aim of this paper is to develop a set of protocol regarding the planning\, design\, and use of concept cards to assist researchers wishing to utilis e the method.\n\nDescription: The study developed a ten-step process\, ado pting a deductive reasoning approach to developing researcher-gathered con cept cards and implementing these in interviews. This ten-step process was then tested within a PhD study by interviewing internal and external stak eholders of a sample of Vietnamese companies regarding social benefits of Green Innovation. Green Innovation is not\, in itself\, a sensitive topic but is an emerging concept. As such\, there was a very distinct possibilit y that understanding of Green Innovation amongst the participants could be low which could cause the participants to be reluctant\, or uncomfortable \, with sharing their views. This created a challenging proposition for th e novice researcher undertaking the interviews\, but one where it was felt the use of concept cards would be valuable interview aids.\n\nOutcomes: T he ten-step process for concept card interviewing was an effective framewo rk for investigating the social impact of Green Innovation in Vietnam. Pro viding participants with the opportunity to self-select concept cards for discussion encouraged responses based on each participant’s individual st ories and helped minimise clichéd responses. Further\, it helped reduce b arriers between the interviewer and participants\, with participants enjoy ing the ability to provide their own input\, leading to collaborative know ledge expansion and a marked increase in the motivation of participants to explore Green Innovation in more depth. \n \nConclusion: Following the te n-step process\, the concept card approach to interviewing can be successf ully applied in a workplace setting\, helping to minimise the potential of clichéd responses from participants and encouraging high levels of parti cipant engagement within the interviews.

For example \, the alt-right is commonly qualified with inconsistent terminology as a social media phenomenon. Instead of imposing additional terminology a prio ri\, this project instead explores and queries what we are actually seeing : patterns of activity specific to the platform\, such as Reddit. To conne ct such patterns of activity to a broader framework informed by the theore tical assumptions of online extremism\, frame analysis and social network analysis are used to observe and qualify the alt-right in 2 forms. First\, thread activity is qualified as frames that represent Reddit’s content. Second\, 2-mode networks of frames\, users and subreddits constitute ephem eral instances of the alt-right. By delineating the alt-right into 2 inter related units of analysis\, this project captures the alt-right as an ephe meral component of a broader social media platform infrastructure. What we see of the alt-right at one moment is contingent to what Reddit is at tha t time. This approach explicitly problematises the longstanding pattern of assuming that our conventional units of analysis apply to platform activi ty. It is necessary to first understand what is happening as a platform ac tivity before translating it to a conventional unit of analysis.\n\nRecord ing link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/jG2oPYAxGbCXdVm76fy6IhAi 4brxwMoxOeP2QCK3nrPdeQ5j9wU0fMRuutuGsktE.GGS6vN76zGxbrfPv?startTime=166918 4529000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 3 SUMMARY:Observing the alt-right on Reddit: constructing unique units of obs ervation and analysis from platform activity - Nicholas Corbett URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/VK9DMR/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-7TLQRX@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221123T182000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221123T183500 DESCRIPTION:Available field-based research (Smith 2011\; Hunt et al 2008) h as characterised Indigenous governance as inter-connected relationships\, rules and ways of behaving between people\, places and things (past\, pres ent and future). The nodes in this networked system are people and groups of people (families\, clans\, leaders\, nations\, communities and organisa tions)\, places (country\, sacred sites\, camping places\, personal sites) \, events (ceremony\, ritual\, births and death)\, and objects (structures \, natural resources\, species). The connecting ties include kinship (desc ent and marriage)\, membership of demographic categories (age\, gender and generation)\, and other affiliations (historical\, ceremonial\, geographi c and economic). The great advantage of such networked systems is that the y can scale in a flexible manner: small local groups can link horizontally to groups in other geographic areas and scale-up vertically to form large r polities and alliances of networks. This recursive pattern of expanding connections and pathways is a familiar one depicted in Indigenous kinship\ , ceremony\, songs\, dreaming\, paintings and so on.\n\nAlthough there is extensive anthropological research through kinship studies\, genealogical methods and cultural mapping\, these approaches do not fully capture the r eproduction and agency of Indigenous governance networks. Our project draw s on anthropology and network methods to develop a novel approach for rese arching indigenous governance. Indigenous governance networks can be conce ived of as multimodal (different types of actors) and multiplex (different types of ties) networks. A network conceptualisation allows us to use Soc ial Network Analysis (SNA)\, for example: can we identify “structural hol es” (gaps in the social structure of communication) (Burt\, 1995) in Indi genous governance networks\, and if so\, what are their properties and wha t benefits do they confer? We also explore the use of Actor-Network Theory (Latour\, 2005)\, which provides theory and methods to study networks of human and non-human actants and as such\, is well-suited for capturing the complexity of Indigenous Australian networks.\n\nRecording link: https:// acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/jG2oPYAxGbCXdVm76fy6IhAi4brxwMoxOeP2QCK3nr PdeQ5j9wU0fMRuutuGsktE.GGS6vN76zGxbrfPv?startTime=1669184529000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 3 SUMMARY:An interdisciplinary approach to understanding Indigenous Australia n governance networks - Francisca Borquez URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/7TLQRX/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-AD9KNG@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221124T103000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221124T120000 DESCRIPTION:In this short workshop\, the team from SDAS will teach particip ants some important features and tools within Stata to help you present th e information that you create in Stata in a more powerful and reproducible manner.

This aim will be achieved via a workshop during which a conversation will be curated with scholars\, artists\, and experts with l ived experience of health issues and/or healthcare to understand how they have used this methodology\, why\, and the associated effects. Participant s will be invited to engage in a creative making activity to make together (e.g.\, craft\, digital body mapping\, found poetry\, etc.)\, as well as consider and critique how they might incorporate this methodology into the ir scholarship.\n\nThere has been limited scholarly engagement with the me thodological benefits of making together. Literature on related areas larg ely highlights four points. First\, making together offers therapeutic ben efits\, fostering self-expression\, relationships\, health-seeking behavio urs\, and personal growth (Harter et al.\, 2022\; Kelly\, Steiner\, Mason\ , & Teasdale\, 2021). Second\, making together can offer pedagogical benef its\, opening developmental opportunities\, as students learn and form the ir professional identity (Hyde\, 2007\; Page\, 2018). Third\, making toget her can offer social benefits\, serving as a form of activism to raise the profile of\, understanding about\, and action to address social issues (H ackney\, Saunders\, Willett\, Hill\, & Griffin\, 2020\; Pollitt\, Blaise\, & Gray\, 2022). And fourth\, artefacts represent a useful way to collect and analyse data\, as well as communicate the associated findings – consi der\, for instance\, photovoice (Krutt\, Dyer\, Arora\, Rollman\, & Jozkow ski\, 2018\; Overmars-Marx\, Thomése\, & Meininger\, 2018)\, research-bas ed theatre (Bleuer\, Chin\, & Sakamoto\, 2018\; Brown\, Ramsay\, Milo\, Mo ore\, & Hossain\, 2018)\, and found objects (Camic\, 2010). Despite the my riad benefits of artefacts and the act of making together\, with few excep tions (Mitchell & de Lange\, 2011)\, the methodological benefits of making together remain underexplored. This workshop offers an opportunity to exp lore and critique making together as a methodology to aid sense-making and sense-giving.\n\nRecording link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/ 6wVWMb2b6X_9QWRg8ZGR0mSDy5gZ_folWvTYWs4wubmAUVvuwnx4f9jPXg_2XSd_.9eniOoEOh LDCIdlf?startTime=1669246291000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 1 SUMMARY:Making together: A methodology in the making - Ann Dadich\, Priya V aughan\, Katherine Boydell URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/QQVRNM/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-ELQSGN@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221124T103000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221124T120000 DESCRIPTION:Choice modelling is a specialised area of micro-econometrics. C hoice modellers use the microdata of individual choices. The choices could span a wide range of phenomena: examples include the decision to get marr ied\, to enter the workforce\, and to buy private health insurance. Choice modelling has found great application in several areas of applied economi cs\, including environmental\, health\, and transport economics. Interest in choice models is also reflected in the academic literatures in business and psychology. This short workshop presents an overview of the family of choice models that are used by choice modellers. The foundational model i s Daniel McFadden's conditional logistic regression. McFadden is a profess or emeritus at UC Berkeley and Nobel Laureate. He was awarded the Nobel Pr ize in Economic Sciences in 2000 for developing the conditional logit mode l and for his contributions to microeconomic theory. Since the development of McFadden's model\, there has been much interest in extensions and gene ralisations of the model. McFadden's model retrieves the aggregate prefere nces of samples (populations) of decision makers. Extensions of his model retrieve the aggregate preferences and the unobserved sources of variation in the preferences of decision makers. Academic interest in choice modell ing is partly motivated by the useful outputs that choice models generate\ , including forecasts of demand\, price elasticities of demand\, and margi nal willingness to pay estimates (for changes in the levels of the explana tory variables studied). These outputs can help policymakers to understand the economic value of (for example\, health and environmental) goods to c onsumer-decision makers. This workshop brings these concepts to life with reference to a now classic study from environmental economics focused on competing use values of forestry resources in Canada. The goal of the wor kshop is to provide an introduction to choice modelling and to highlight i ts value to researchers and policymakers in the social and behavioural sci ences.\n\nRecording link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/Np2LnBK2 oylB6i5NFLyC7vk8mL7StVlZdjj4vQTCJoqTbJ3KUQ9fq3iFDXh7jTrC.U5kPrhYLGtfZdM8o? startTime=1669245603000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 2 SUMMARY:Choice Modelling in the Social and Behavioural Sciences - Len Coote URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/ELQSGN/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-SZK3GU@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221124T130000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221124T131500 DESCRIPTION:Life in Australia™ is Australia’s only probability-based onli ne panel\, in operation since 2017. The panel was initially recruited in 2 016 using dual-frame random digit dialling (RDD)\, topped up in 2018 using cell phone RDD as a single frame\, expanded in 2019 using address-based s ampling (A-BS)\, and topped up in late 2020 using a combination of A-BS\, interactive voice response (IVR) calls to cell phones\, and SMS push-to-we b (i.e.\, invitations using only SMS) and expanded again in late 2021 usin g A-BS.\nWe present our findings with respect to recruitment and profile r ates\, retention\, and completion rates.

We also discuss projections of amorti sed recruitment cost allowing for more frequent top-ups and higher attriti on of SMS push-to-web sample to shed further light on cost considerations. \nThe yields from IVR and SMS push-to-web sample were below that of ABS\, however the costs for IVR and SMS push-to-web were well below those of ABS and the less expensive modes actually delivered a more desirable panel me mber profile with respect to age and nativity\, though not education.

To capitalise on the increase d online activities in class settings and in general during the early phas es of the pandemic\, I drew on Trace Interviews (Dubois & Ford\, 2015) and Social Media Scroll Back Method (Robards & Lincoln\, 2019). This led me t o formulate an online prompt interview as an extension of these existing m ethods - with a few key differences. Firstly\, the online activities/onlin e accounts in the interview work as prompt rather than the main research i nterest. The online prompt interview uses the online activities to bring a bout participants’ past or current behaviour\, attitudes\, or feeling whe n presented with or surfing through their online accounts across learning management systems (LMSs)\, e-mail\, and social media. Secondly\, I used t he following strategies in the interview process: (1) Participants were as ked to surf multiple accounts during the interview (at least one LMS or E- mail\, and one social media)\, and (2) participants have more control and power as they can decide to show or not show their online activities to th e interviewer. To demonstrate the flexibility of online prompt interview\ , I will present my experience with asking participants to review multiple online accounts during the interview session. I also explore the pros and cons of the method and how the online accounts\, though different\, gave various angles to answering the main research question.\n\nRecording link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/hgwslXAzf4qmRv8ipyQ8zMAGRA6ZC19EJ zm11t5vL9ztJQFO7ZqqwZRhGSozzL4.GZreddTQcQGSpJ3u?startTime=1669254563000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 2 SUMMARY:Capitalising on online activity during interview: International stu dent experience with remote learning - Mohd Zahid Juri URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/3KHBH7/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-LJJ9FY@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221124T130000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221124T131500 DESCRIPTION:Background: Past research has shown people affected by miscarri age want a website specific to both miscarriage and to Australia that is a ccessible\, comprehensive\, evidence-based and informed by reputable exper ts and healthcare providers.\nObjective: The aim of this study was to desi gn\, develop and evaluate the Miscarriage Australia website using a human centered design approach (HCD). The human centered design approach is comm only used in software development as it incorporates the end user in the d esign process in order to ensure the system is usable and meets end users ’ needs. In this paper we describe how this approach was applied to ensur e the final website met target end user requirements. \nMethods: The Misc arriage Australia website [1] was designed using a three-phase approach. P hase 1 (Context and Requirements): involved a review and secondary analysi s of existing interview data with those affected by miscarriage (28 cisgen der women and 16 cisgender male partners) to determine their online inform ation and content needs. A website content framework\, two representative end users (personas) and tone of voice guidelines (Miscarriage Australia’ s brand identity and values) were developed by HCD designers to guide the content and design process. Desktop research of existing online miscarria ge content was also undertaken to understand current best practice and to inform search engine optimisation strategies. Phase 2 (Design): involved c ontent creation by the research team\, with the expert guidance of an advi sory committee of 14 medical\, nursing and allied health professionals. Co ntent was copy edited by the designers to ensure it met end-users needs an d the tone of voice guidelines. Phase 3 (Usability testing): Specialist H CD website developers were engaged to undertake branding and build of the website. Two iterative cycles of usability testing and development were u ndertaken with 10 end users to test website branding\, usability\, accepta bility\, accessibility and functionality. Results were summarised after e ach round and used to refine and finalise the website. \nResults: Phase 1 interview data analysis confirmed the need for a comprehensive\, reputable Australian website for those affected by miscarriage. Two user personas – ‘Dhalia’ and ‘Ellinor’ - were developed to represent the target aud ience\, including their behaviours\, motivators and goals in accessing the website. Designers recommended Miscarriage Australia’s tone of voice b e calm\, empathetic\, hopeful and authoritative. Content was reviewed by e xpert advisory committee members over two rounds to ensure it was evidence based and reflected best practice. Feedback from usability testing showe d users felt the website looked professional\, trustworthy\, informed by a reputable organisation and included all the necessary information needed at the time of miscarriage. They felt the branding and colour palette was warm\, calming and not overly feminine. They also liked the language use d which they felt was empathetic\, conversational and relatable. Most par ticipants navigated easily through the website\, successfully finding the required information. Minor areas for improvement identified included some slight changes to specific imagery\, navigational links and additional i nformation on a few pages. \nConclusion: Using a human centred design appr oach to develop the Miscarriage Australia website allowed the research tea m\, designers\, developers to design and Australian based miscarriage webs ite that met target end user needs. Ongoing evaluation will be undertaken and used to inform further development and refinement of the website.\n\n Recording link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/DYxTB5FFWvQLpJmIZy FeE91Pm_RiSDITsJSHi_tIJB-fdVgMERUhGFmKMbauWdWD.o9YagllL9mOA7gX9?startTime= 1669255303000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 1 SUMMARY:Miscarriage Australia: The use of a human centred design approach to design and develop a website to support those affected by miscarriage. - Dr Jade Bilardi URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/LJJ9FY/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-XFQQ7G@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221124T132000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221124T133500 DESCRIPTION:Social researchers often explore complex\, messy\, real-world q uestions that are not amenable to simple or easy answers. Yet in the conte mporary academic context\, we are increasingly pressured to be ‘productiv e’\, to maximise research outputs\, and rewarded for this. The benefits a re simplistically obvious – more publications\, better job prospects\, et c. But what about the costs\, and what is lost? The mental health impacts of contemporary neoliberalised (and\, for ECRs\, precarity) are well estab lished. Movements like ‘slow academia’ have pointed to knowledge consequ ences\, as well.\n\nIn this presentation I will draw from my experiences a s a qualitative PhD student deeply embedded in my analytic process\, to ex plore the value of slowing down\, and to demonstrate the importance of tak ing breaks in the research journey. My thesis work involved using reflexiv e thematic analysis to develop understanding of\, and construct a story ab out\, how child development knowledge is used in child protection policy a nd practice in Aotearoa. Reflexive thematic analysis necessitated reflecti on on all aspects of my work\, and during the analysis stage of the projec t I had to recognise that I had ‘hit a wall’ and needed to take time out . When I returned to study\, I realised that this this time out period – far from being a loss of momentum or failure\, had been a gift\, and that it had allowed (mental) space and time for ideas to percolate\, brew and strengthen before returning refreshed to the data. \n\nI use this experien ce to challenge the common-sense notion that breaks are unproductive time and instead posit that they can be a ‘generative interregnum’ time where by ideas (and analysis) can develop in a space (somewhat) bracketed away f rom ‘productive’ pressures. \nI argue for a rethinking of how time is pl anned and imagined in qualitative research – but situate that in an under standing that many graduate students and researchers are structurally prev ented from being able to take such generative interregnums. Given these co ntextual constraints\, what possibilities might there be to organise or st retch time in ways that facilitate generativity through non-productive (no n)engagement.\n\nThe rich potential offered through qualitative research l ike reflexive TA is not well-served by the knowledge-delivery model of the neoliberal university. The reflexivity required by my chosen analytic met hod ultimately included considering whether I\, as the researcher\, was in the right space to be able to construct the analytic story. I had to know ingly assess my ability to construct that story at any given point in that process. If we are to retain the rich and full potential of qualitative r esearch\, we must challenge neoliberal notions of productivity in academia and work to dismantle the barriers – at a micro personal and a macro str uctural level - that prevent us from taking generative interregnums.\n\nRe cording link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/DYxTB5FFWvQLpJmIZyFe E91Pm_RiSDITsJSHi_tIJB-fdVgMERUhGFmKMbauWdWD.o9YagllL9mOA7gX9?startTime=16 69255303000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 1 SUMMARY:Generative interregnums: Slowing research down and taking breaks - Eileen Joy URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/XFQQ7G/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-WSME3B@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221124T132000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221124T133500 DESCRIPTION:Record-breaking droughts\, bushfires and now floods have left f ew in doubt that climate change is having a severe impact on the Australia n environment. Farmers are observing accelerated changes to their climate\ , especially for climate-sensitive wine grapes. This mixed methods study w ill increase understanding of the diversity and extent of agroecological p ractices that grape growers are using to proactively adapt to current and future climate uncertainties. In the first exploratory stage of this resea rch\, interviews with 33 winegrape growers from 8 NSW wine growing regions have given qualitative insights into the types of changes that have been occurring and the benefits or barriers that growers have experienced when transitioning to agroecological practices.\nIncorporating biodiversity int o agricultural practice is a topic that industry is keen to better underst and\, so this qualitative study was linked with a concurrent biodiversity landscape survey which provided many advantages. Working as a team made dr iving long distances\, physical sampling\, researcher safety and participa nt recruitment easier for both studies. Ethical best practice was used as part of the process of building respect and trust when recruiting and inte racting with farmers\, especially in the adherence to biosecurity and sani tation practices between farm visits. Participants were given autonomy of choice for the field survey as well as the interview location\, which was usually on the edge of a field\, in the farm office or at the on-farm cell ar door which ensured participants were comfortable in their surroundings. The interview was conducted as a triadic interaction between the intervie wer\, the vineyard and the grower who managed the vineyard. Interviews wer e mostly conducted outdoors as a precaution due to the surge in COVID-19 a t the time\, which meant participants could point out features of the vine yard. This often allowed their passion for the subject to show\, particula rly around their environmental improvements. Informal feedback after the i nterviews indicated that some found the conversation about drivers of chan ge a useful personal reflection. \nThe ultimate purpose of these interview s was to serve as a foundational study of agroecological practices in viti culture and a quantitative stage will follow to assess the extent of\, and regional differences in the uptake of agroecology. The data and results a cquired from this study will be interpreted with respect to existing behav ioural theories in motivation and behavioural change and compare them to c urrent literature on motivations behind agroecological movements. The sust ainable and regenerative farming movements are well reported in the media. This study will seek to provide some insights into motivations and experi ences of agroecological practices in the context of viticulture which will help guide future research priorities to help navigate future uncertainti es and increase the sustainability of Australian agriculture.\n\nRecording link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/hgwslXAzf4qmRv8ipyQ8zMAGRA6 ZC19EJzm11t5vL9ztJQFO7ZqqwZRhGSozzL4.GZreddTQcQGSpJ3u?startTime=1669256433 000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 2 SUMMARY:Using interviews to understand agroecological practices in the Aust ralian viticultural context - Anne Johnson URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/WSME3B/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-ZHBPHY@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221124T132000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221124T133500 DESCRIPTION:Ten to Men: The Australian Longitudinal Study on Male Health is Australia’s only nationwide cohort study of boys to adult males. A key f unction of Ten to Men is to provide an evidence base for research and poli cy that improve health outcomes for all Australian boys and men. According ly\, monitoring and maintaining representativeness of the sample is an imp ortant activity. Wave 1 of Ten to Men was undertaken in 2013/14 and recrui ted around 16\,000 boys and men aged 10 to 55 years. \n\nParticipant attri tion is experienced by all longitudinal studies\, with select analytical t echniques (e.g. sample weighting) able to mitigate some of these risks. Ho wever\, as a longitudinal sample matures\, many studies engage in ‘top-up ’ activities to ensure meaningful analyses can continue to be conducted. To address increasing attrition\, the Ten to Men Sample Top-up Pilot study was undertaken in 2022 to test the effectiveness of multiple top-up metho ds in relation to achieved sample size\, attributes of recruited participa nts\, cost effectiveness and retention rates. This study targeted recruitm ent of the following priority populations of Australian men (either underr epresented or prone to higher attrition rates) including those who are you ng (<35 years)\; culturally and linguistically diverse\; identify as Abori ginal and/or Torres Strait Islander\; have non-tertiary qualifications\; o r live outside metro areas.\n\nPhase 1 of the pilot (March/April 2022) tes ted the 3 main sampling/recruitment approaches\, including Random Digit Di alling\, Address-Based Sampling\, and targeted social media campaigns for priority populations. Testing was also conducted in relation to communicat ion methods and messaging. Altruistic and scarcity messaging were tested f or both the probability samples\, and several different combinations of me ssaging and imagery were tested for each target population in the social m edia recruitment. Phase 2 (August-October 2022) included a follow-up surve y to all recruited participants to test early retention outcomes for each sample group. \n\nThis session will present an overview of recruitment and retention approaches\, examination of the outcomes\, and general discussi on of the challenges and recommendations for top-up of longitudinal sample s.\n\nRecording link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/sFS4E0Eva6L3 CETeEbh9cr8bLW7jHf3BqadVrD3ZBgTXkIpMYjtO_h9UWipxxHi-.ZbxNTlh6Oe1hAEZ5?star tTime=1669255431000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 3 SUMMARY:Reaching the hard-to-reach: recruiting and retaining underrepresent ed sub-groups in longitudinal research. - Jennifer Renda\, Jessie Dunstan URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/ZHBPHY/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-8A8DJM@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221124T134000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221124T135500 DESCRIPTION:Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic\, many qualitative res earchers have pivoted to online data collection. Online qualitative method s have advantages and limitations compared to their face-to-face counterpa rts and are often considered to generate more\, but less rich\, qualitativ e data. In the case of online focus groups\, a particular challenge for ge nerating rich data is the difficulty in fostering participant-to-participa nt interactions and thereby eliciting unanticipated ideas. Our recent expe riences running six asynchronous online focus groups across two research p rojects in 2020-2021\, challenged many of the claims about the advantages and limitations of this method. The focus groups explored Australian and N ew Zealand community attitudes towards novel biotechnologies in food produ ction and how these relate to underlying values. Our methodological reflec tions are twofold: firstly\, asynchronous online focus groups can generate rich individual data\, as might occur from one-on-one interviews. Second\ , it is possible to foster participant-to-participant interactions and eli cit unanticipated ideas. Based on our experiences\, we argue that the asyn chronous online focus group is a promising data collection method\, with a dvantages that can be furthered through careful recruitment and design\, f lexible online platforms\, and responsive facilitation. These reflections have practical and methodological implications for qualitative researchers \, particularly for studies that embrace an emergent design.\n\nRecording link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/hgwslXAzf4qmRv8ipyQ8zMAGRA6Z C19EJzm11t5vL9ztJQFO7ZqqwZRhGSozzL4.GZreddTQcQGSpJ3u?startTime=16692576330 00 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 2 SUMMARY:Revisiting the methodological advantages and limitations of asynchr onous online focus groups for qualitative research - Rebecca Paxton URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/8A8DJM/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-QADXKL@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221124T134000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221124T135500 DESCRIPTION:The assumptions we have about the way the world works\, or beli eve it should work\, dictate how we engage with the challenges of environm ental sustainability. As researchers\, these assumptions underpin our appr oach to understanding the human experiences of and institutional responses to climate change and other environmental crises. This presentation begin s to highlight the role of knowledge systems in the sustainability challen ges we face and questions what potential consequences occur when different ‘ways of knowing’ conflict. Knowledge is the ‘know how’\, or the appl ication of data and information to answer ‘how’ questions and is the pro duct of knowledge systems. Knowledge systems are the practices and routine s that facilitate communication\, translation and mediation of knowledge a cross boundaries. Currently\, how we innovate and communicate knowledge ac ross disciplinary\, epistemological and institutional boundaries tends to be unclear\, preventing ideas being shared across our diverse knowledge sy stems. To address complex and international sustainability challenges\, we need to be able to improve communication\, translation\, and absorption o f knowledge. By planning to investigate different information governance a rrangements across different knowledge systems\, we aim to be able to ushe r in conditions for more collaborative and equitable approaches to knowled ge and cost/benefit sharing. This presentation will make the case for why we need to improve our understanding of knowledge systems and explore how that might happen with diverse epistemologies in mind.\n\nRecording link: https://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/DYxTB5FFWvQLpJmIZyFeE91Pm_RiSDITsJ SHi_tIJB-fdVgMERUhGFmKMbauWdWD.o9YagllL9mOA7gX9?startTime=1669257754000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 1 SUMMARY:Understanding the epistemological divides of knowledge systems in s ustainability transitions - Gillian Cornish URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/QADXKL/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-3BTKPQ@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221124T134000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221124T135500 DESCRIPTION:The Integrated Public Number Database (IPND) provides access to all Australian mobile telephone numbers. Unlike random digit dialling (RD D)\, the IPND also provides the postcode at which the number is registered . The availability of postcodes is critical for affordable research at the state level and below because Australian mobile numbering is not related to geography. As a result of the cost of screening for sub-national sample s\, contemporary Australian telephone surveys typically use a blend of mob ile RDD and listed mobile sample for cost control. (Landline RDD has large ly been discontinued due to declining coverage\, increasing coverage error and increasing cost.) Although the IPND has been available for some time for a limited set of use-cases (public health research\, Commonwealth publ ic policy research and party political research for candidates or parties) \, there has been no systematic investigation into the quality and efficie ncy of the IPND relative to RDD\; an absence that this paper aims to remed y. We describe the results of (1) a systematic trial conducted on the IPND by the Social Research Centre\, in partnership with various state and ter ritory health agencies and Cancer Council Victoria (CCV) and (2) parallel administration of RDD and IPND in the CCV’s 2022 Victorian Smoking and He alth Survey.\nWe first present a brief overview of the IPND and its limita tions. The accuracy of geographic information from the IPND trial is shown \, at levels from state (correct in 93% of cases) to postcode (correct in 75% of cases) and it is demonstrated that no appreciable coverage error wa s identified. The results of RDD and IPND samples on demographics and sele cted health outcomes and behavioural measures are compared. With the possi ble exception of the proportion of very young adults (i.e. 18-19 year-olds ) responding\, both unweighted achieved sample and weighted estimates are consistent between RDD and IPND.\nThe results of this paper show that the IPND is fit-for-purpose for public health research that has to date used R DD-based designs. Compared to a hypothetical single frame mobile RDD desig n for a state-level survey\, IPND will yield similar estimates and sample characteristics but at reduced cost\, due to reduced need for screening. C ompared to the dual-frame mobile RDD and listed designs that are actually in use\, costs should be broadly similar but the IPND is preferable becaus e it offers the benefits of a pure probability design and higher weighting efficiency compared to the dual-frame alternative.\n\nRecording link: htt ps://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/sFS4E0Eva6L3CETeEbh9cr8bLW7jHf3BqadVr D3ZBgTXkIpMYjtO_h9UWipxxHi-.ZbxNTlh6Oe1hAEZ5?startTime=1669255431000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 3 SUMMARY:The Integrated Public Number Database: An Alternate Telephone Frame for Population Health and Commonwealth Public Policy Surveys - Benjamin P hillips URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/3BTKPQ/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-WRMC7E@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221124T140000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221124T141500 DESCRIPTION:Background: Hospital admission records contain a rich resource of data for healthcare research\, providing a direct insight into processe s and procedures whilst also being resilient to bias and limitations affli cting other sampling methods. In Australian hospitals\, most data records are standardised or otherwise classified using internationally established conventions (e.g.\, International Classification of Disease by the World Health Organisation)\, thereby providing a robust data source for research . Hospital admission records are not centrally stored\, with emergency and inpatient datasets located separately with different structures and frame works. Therefore\, before utilising hospital records data to report outcom es\, pre-processing steps need to be taken. Here\, we homogenise and link emergency and inpatient admission datasets and apply natural language proc essing on the linked datasets to create a predictive model for patient len gth of stay and readmission.\n\nMethods: The dataset contains emergency an d inpatient hospital admission records from two local health districts (So uth-Eastern-Sydney and Illawarra-Shoalhaven Local Health Districts) betwee n 2020 and 2021. Both datasets were configured to a patient-admission leve l by reshaping the datasets to have the diagnostic records expand across a row rather than a column. A custom algorithm was created to link the resh aped datasets by using de-identified patient IDs as key and matching overl apping admission and departure/discharge date-times. Two outcome variables were generated for natural language processing: one indicating if the pat ient was readmitted within 28 days\, and another indicating if the patient was admitted for more than one day. Diagnostic records from the emergency dataset\, inpatient dataset\, as well as age and gender of the patient we re used in the models to predict the outcomes based on natural language pr ocessing (random forest classification with TF-IDF and word2vec vectors). Stata MP 15.1 was used to pre-process the datasets\, and Python was used t o link the datasets at a patient-admission level and run the natural langu age processing algorithm. The study was conducted under ethical approval f rom South-Eastern Sydney Local Health District Human Research Ethics commi ttee (HREC/16/POWH/412) and Macquarie University\, and funded under a Nati onal Health and Medical Research Council Partnership Project (1111925).\n\ nResults: Without the emergency dataset linked\, the TF-IDF model produced a predictive model for readmission with 96% precision and 76.2% recall. T he linkage increased the precision to 96.4% and the recall to 76.3%. The u nlinked word2vec model had a precision of 96.7% and a recall of 74.8%\, wh ich increased to 97.1% precision and slightly reduced to 74.6% recall afte r linkage. For predicting if the patient would be admitted for more than o ne day\, the unlinked TF-IDF model had 86.2% precision and 89.7% recall\, which increased to 87.4% precision and 90.5% recall after linkage. The unl inked word2vec model had 81.9% precision and 89% recall\, and the linked m odel had 83.4% precision and 88.6% recall.\n\nConclusion: Hospital admissi on records provide a rich source of data for secondary data analysis\, wit h pre-processing and linking different components of a patient’s stay imp roving predictive modelling. Here we show an improvement in predictive mod elling by linking inpatient and emergency dataset diagnostic records. Link age with pathology tests\, radiology tests\, and medications would further improve predictive models and reporting outcomes.\n\nRecording link: http s://acspri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/sFS4E0Eva6L3CETeEbh9cr8bLW7jHf3BqadVrD 3ZBgTXkIpMYjtO_h9UWipxxHi-.ZbxNTlh6Oe1hAEZ5?startTime=1669255431000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 3 SUMMARY:Linking Hospital Emergency and Inpatient Admissions for secondary d ata analysis: a case study using Natural Language Processing - Gorkem Sezg in URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/WRMC7E/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-ALTPBU@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221124T142000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221124T143500 DESCRIPTION:Linking academic data from the National Assessment Program – L iteracy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) to the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Yo uth (LSAY) provides an incredibly rich source of assessment data in additi on to the wealth of information available from LSAY.

This will include findings from our analysis of the factors that influence respondents’ likelihood to consent and outcomes from the r epresentativity analysis that seeks to understand how well the consenting respondents represent the target population.\n\nRecording link: https://ac spri-org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/sFS4E0Eva6L3CETeEbh9cr8bLW7jHf3BqadVrD3ZBgTX kIpMYjtO_h9UWipxxHi-.ZbxNTlh6Oe1hAEZ5?startTime=1669255431000 DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Breakout Room 3 SUMMARY:Understanding the linked LSAY-NAPLAN data - Emerick Chew URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/ALTPBU/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-LVAKN8@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221124T150000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221124T162000 DESCRIPTION:In the leadup to the 2022 Australian election\, there was consi derable speculation about the possible success of minor parties and indepe ndents\, and the likelihood of a hung parliament. \n\nJust two weeks befor e election day\, YouGov released estimates for all 151 House of Representa tives electorates\, the first time any organisation had done this during a n Australian national election campaign. It indicated hung parliament spec ulation was wrong\, predicting Labor would win 76-85 seats\, with the most likely outcome being 80 (they won 77)\, and that the Coalition would win 58-68 (they won 58). \n\nThese estimates came from a model-based approach called Multilevel Regression and Poststratification (MRP)\, which combined a large survey with information from the Census and other data\, allowing for a more granular approach to polling.\n\nYouGov’s Director of Data Sc ience — Public Affairs and Polling\, Dr Shaun Ratcliff\, will talk about how the model worked\, what it said about the election\, and lessons from YouGov’s innovations at this election.\n\nRecording link: https://acspri- org-au.zoom.us/rec/share/NSa_TKfKf-OO5fnbrxZBoGWwkBEqyOz7rSiSl2QFMq3q9TyO2 vWlppETZr0lVMqg.zusQdCS48cPgzXHN DTSTAMP:20260416T120528Z LOCATION:Zoom Conference Room SUMMARY:Successes and lessons from polling at the 2022 federal election - S haun Ratcliff URL:https://conferences.acspri.org.au/2022/talk/LVAKN8/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-2022-P97RUZ@conferences.acspri.org.au DTSTART;TZID=AEST:20221124T162000 DTEND;TZID=AEST:20221124T163000 DESCRIPTION:A member of the ACSPRI executive committee will close the confe rence and acknowledging our sponsors.
