Thanks for this video! What a wonderful re-energising realist methodology morning talk to watch over coffee and breakfast!
A follow up question:
There was a slide near the end that proposes a number of different potential emphases for a realist evaluation/synthesis. As I reflect on my own realist eval phd research currently underway, it seems that I have found my work swimming (drowning?) in a
number of the emphases you outline (clarifying what is going on with the program, unearthing causal pathways, exploring contextual determinants, etc). It seems that one might end up naturally doing a bit of all these things in a realist evaluation but is
this possibly problematic in terms of the scope of an evaluation?
Thanks for your thoughts and I wish you all an excellent day!
Cheers!

Dear Colleagues,
For those who may be interested in viewing or circulating a video recording of a seminar on Realist Methodology I gave through Engage Liverpool a few weeks ago. This should be posted on the CARES website in a few days as well.
