Qualitative research methods Workshop

PhD Bootcamp: Getting to grips with writing up

Professor Rosaline Barbour

 

Tuesday 18^th – Thursday 20^th November 2014

The Open University Milton Keynes

This three day intensive workshop is ideal for doctoral students in the final year of writing up and follows on from the success of Research Methods Workshop; 'Identifying and interrogating patterning and Using theory in qualitative data analysis'.

Professor Rosaline (Rose) Barbour has extensive experience of supervising PhD students and examining theses, and will also draw on her own experience of publishing, reviewing, serving on editorial boards, and as a journal editor. She will also provide one-to-one consultation slots throughout the three days. Although students might write relatively brief sections during the workshop, they will leave equipped with new transferable skills and will also benefit from the opportunity to discuss specific challenges with other 'bootcamp' delegates.

Writing-up a PhD can be a lonely and daunting enterprise and the aim of the workshop is to provide a supportive and constructive environment in which participants can make significant progress - whether this involves overall planning of the thesis; re-ordering of material; writing linking passages; producing summaries or selecting appropriate headings. Participants are urged to discuss in advance with their supervisors and to come to the workshop with a clear idea of what they wish to achieve. It is also possible for delegates to submit short extracts and queries in advance of the workshop. The format will involve a mixture of presentations and targeted group exercises, with blocks of time set aside over the three days, during which delegates can work on their laptops, with the opportunity to check in regularly with the workshop facilitator who will also revise one-to-one consultations over the three days.

Registration is now OPEN!
