Data Analysis with ‘R’ and 'Python'
The aim of this training is to introduce effective and reproducible data analysis techniques in two open source programming languages, R and Python. This resource is presented by Dr Geraint Palmer who is a Welsh medium lecturer in the School of Mathematics at Cardiff University. His research in the field of Operational Research mainly involved modelling public services as queueing systems analytically and using computer simulation. This work applies topics such as probability, graph theory, data analysis, and software development. Content: A series of 10 videos (5 in R and 5 in Python), on the following topics: Downloading, installing, and starting the software Reading in data and producing summary statistics Plotting Combining and re-shaping data Hypothesis testing An example data set A practical task to coincide with each video On completion trainees should be able to: By working through this video series and the tasks, you will be able to start to analyse data with either R or Python. Specifically, you will know how to read in data to the software, produce summary statistics, plot, combine and reshape data, and carry out hypothesis testing.

(Performing citizenship: Sisters, a joint production between National Theatre Wales and Junoon Theatre Mumbai)
This article seeks to interrogate the ways in which the citizens of Wales use the theatrical resources at their disposal to investigate and articulate their national identities and experiences. The discussion will take a recent co-production, entitled Sisters, between National Theatre Wales and Junoon Theatre Mumbai as its starting point. Sisters stimulates discussion of new ways of creating and participating in theatre that respond creatively to the challenges of a twenty-first century global, digital and post-consumerist society. In discussion, this article will use Johannes Birringer’s uncompromising vision of theatre as a transformative activity that focuses on patterns of collaboration between unfamiliar and unrooted individuals, as a measuring yard for the success and significance of Sisters. I will also argue that the social conditions that inspired Birringer’s vision also give fresh importance to Amelia Jones’s argument about the value of responding to a production or performance by means of secondary evidence, or ‘detritus’, as described by Mathew Reason.
