Methods on the move: advanced postgraduate research methods school
Thursday, 12 November 2015 - Friday, 13 November 2015 at the Open
University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes MK7 6AA
Research methods are always on the move. People experiment with modes of
creating meaning and knowledge. Governmental institutions demand and develop
new methods of data gathering and interpretation. Companies create similar
demands for enhancing corporate information and knowledge and social
movements for challenging ways of living. Yet, the critical issue is not
simply an intensification of demands for new methods but also a reflection
about what these methods are setting in motion. This Research Methods School
introduces recent developments in methods that seek to interfere in, rather
than simply register, states of the world and their implications for
research practice. Plenary and parallel working sessions will be offered by
leading academics at Brunel University, University of Oxford and the Open
University.

Professor Engin Isin, Professor of Citizenship, The Open University
Professor Elizabeth Silva, Professor of Sociology, The Open University
Professor Gillian Rose, Professor of Cultural Geography, The Open University
Professor Paul Stenner, Professor of Social Psychology, The Open University
