Working with Paradata, Marginalia and Fieldnotes: The Centrality of By-Products of Social Research
College Court Conference Centre, University of Leicester
January 14th 2014
(qualitative, quantitative, social sciences, humanities, historical, contemporary)
Paradata, marginalia, fieldnotes and letters are all by-products of the process of social research which can add considerable depth to our understanding of the research process. It is only recently, however, that researchers have begun to recognise the value of such data.
This free one-day conference offers academics and postgraduate students the opportunity to learn more about recent research that addresses the issue of how to make use of the by-products of social research. The day represents a unique chance for a dialogue across disciplines and research paradigms: across social sciences and humanities, historical and contemporary data, primary and secondary sources, quantitative and qualitative approaches – each highly important with the increasing emphasis of research councils on interdisciplinary and secondary research.
This is a free conference with lunch included but pre-registration is required as places are limited. To reserve your place please visit our online store. http://store.ioe.ac.uk/browse/extra_info.asp?compid=1&modid=2&deptid=112&catid=42&prodid=242.
Travel bursaries are available for postgraduate researchers.
