Dear Psci-commers
I loved the name of this event at the British Library so I thought I'd share it as everyone will have had to complete their census form and some might find this of interest.
As the event has nothing to do with me if you are interested in registering go to http://www.bl.uk/whatson/events/event121514.html
Lies, damn lies and statistics
13 April 6:30pm to 8pm in the British Library Entrance Hall
Whether the phrase comes from Disraeli or Dilke, or even The West Wing, there have long been arguments about the accuracy and impact of statistics. Information collected in the Census has major political implications, but who decides what’s included? How is it used? And does it end up improving policy or practice?
Our speakers include David Walker, Contributing Editor Guardian Public, Richard Alldritt, Director General, Monitoring and Assessment, UK Statistics Authority and Nigel Hawkes, Director of Straight Statistics.
The event will be chaired by Ceridwen Roberts, AcSS and Research Fellow, University of Oxford.
There will be a pay bar before and after the event.
