SUMMARY:‘Messy Methods’: Navigating Vulnerabilities relating to Gender, Sexualities and Bonding Ploys in the Interview Process

Dr Matt Hurley has been researching issues related to gender, sexualities, and diversity at NATO during that time. He has published widely on his research, and experienced the complexities, and personal vulnerabilities, that come with doing such research. In this talk, he will explore the qualitative methodological issues that have arisen in his research, and answer questions from the audience. There will be a moderated discussion and advice session regarding how these issues might play out in attendees’ PhD research, and how they can be navigated. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Outcomes
Participants will:

Develop understanding of doing qualitative research in elite, international agencies like NATO;
Gain insight into the ‘messy’ nature of navigating complex research environments;
Have the opportunity to discuss potential solutions when facing similar issues in their own research.
