“Researching (In)equalities at Work”: Postgraduate Researchers' Methods Symposium
The Work and Equalities Institute (WEI), Methods @Manchester and the British Sociological Association (BSA), will be hosting a postgraduate methods symposium titled “Researching (In)Equalities at Work” on 5 April 2019 (8.50 am – 7 pm), at Alliance Manchester Business School (Manchester, UK). In recent years, there has been an increasing need for doctoral students to research inequalities at work. This requires a complex set of skills, not traditionally taught in PGR training programmes.
This one-day event aims to provide the tools needed to conduct research into work inequalities by drawing on experts from the field and from academia. We will be hosting four sessions covering a range of topics, from using secondary data (e.g. the Labour Force Survey and the Family Resources Survey), gaining access to participants and organisations, and methods for conducting sensitive research. The day will culminate with a panel discussion on inequalities led by practitioners who deal with these issues on a daily basis, such as David Perfect (EHRC), Trade Union and Citizens Advice Manchester (CAM).
Food and drinks are included in the registration fee (£5 BSA members/£15 non-BSA members), and there will be an evening reception funded by [log in to unmask]
