Call for papers and conference announcement:
Young Voluntary Sector Researchers’ Conference, 2nd December 2002
Given the current healthy interest in voluntary sector issues, a growing
number of people are becoming interested in related research topics. This
one day conference, to be held on 2nd December 2002 at the NCVO building in
London, will provide an informal opportunity for ‘young researchers’ to get
together and discuss their ideas. The conference hopes to attract
postgraduate students, those who are starting their careers as researchers,
or those who work on voluntary sector research issues as part of their
jobs, such as policy or development workers. The aim of the conference is
to stimulate discussion on an array of voluntary sector research issues and
provide an opportunity for people to present their ideas in a relaxed an
informal context - at the same time we hope to provide an opportunity to
network.
The conference will be based around two sessions, one in which presenters
will be asked to explore their current research projects and/or themes, and
one in which presenters will discuss their experience of different research
methodologies.
Please send abstracts of a maximum of 200 words by 4th November to the
contacts listed below. Presenters should aim to talk for a maximum of
fifteen minutes.
Cost: free, and includes refreshments.
For further details please contact Angela Ellis or Priya Lukka at the
