GCSJ Methods surgery

The Centre for Global Challenges and Social Justice (GCSJ) aims to connect PGR students with experienced researchers in the format of a ‘methods surgery’ where practical challenges, obstacles, tips and tricks can be discussed.

The first of two surgeries will take place on 29 January 2024, 12-2pm (online via Teams). The thematic focus of the first surgery is ‘Qualitative interviews and focus groups’, with Jacqui Gabb and Dan Taylor.

The format of the PGR methods surgery contains 10-minute talks by two members of staff about their use of the method, practical dilemmas, issues, challenges, work arounds, etc. This is followed by discussion with PGR participants. We kindly ask participants to send in their questions in advance, if possible, but the event is open to everyone and so there will be the opportunity to ask questions that emerge on the spot. Those with any methods-related queries can attend for advice and guidance.
