AQUALM Taster Day
The ESRC White Rose DTP is delighted to invite you to an Advanced Qualitative Methods Taster Event, hosted and chaired by Dr Ana Manzano.
The aim of this training event is to provide doctoral researchers with an introduction to a range of advanced qualitative methods for social science research. It will give participants the opportunity to identify methods relevant to their own research. Most of the techniques discussed here are then examined in depth at training workshops later in the academic year, so by attending this session you can determine which further sessions to attend.
The training day will culminate with an informal interview with Dr Kim Allen, University of Leeds, in the form of a Podcast recording. Dr Allen will reflect on writing and publishing her first qualitative paper from her PhD. The paper is:
Allen, K., 2014. ‘Blair’s children’: young women as ‘aspirational subjects’ in the psychic landscape of class. The Sociological Review, 62(4), pp 760-779
You can preview this paper by following this link.
This Advanced Qualitative Methods training is compulsory for ESRC funded PhD research students who have just embarked on their first year of PhD study i.e.:
Students who are starting their PhD study on a +3 Scholarship in academic year 2019/2020 and students who completed their Master in Social Sciences Research in the 2018/2019 academic year who are now transitioning to their PhD study on a 1+3 Scholarship.
All non-ESRC funded students from the WRDTP partner institutions are also welcome to attend this training.
