Cambridge Workshop on Innovative Methods of Evaluating Public Engagement
The workshop will present the state of the art in interdisciplinary methodology and provide the opportunity for input from leading interdisciplinary research methods experts. Keynote speakers will address idiographic methods, new technologies of social research and new methodological frameworks for analyzing data.
Workshop participants will also be invited to bring your own data and practical challenges to discuss and find solutions, so you can receive personalized feedback and advice from the workshop facilitators.
The workshop will include information on how to apply new methodological frameworks and analytic approaches to your evaluation data and how to generalize from detailed analysis of individual cases.
