This event considers the practice, methods, ethics and politics of using fieldwork to collect data. Fieldwork is understood in its broadest sense from semi-structured interviews to long term participant-observation. Fieldwork can be mentally or physically challenging and exhilarating in equal measure, as well as throwing up dilemmas that even the best methods textbooks cannot predict or provide solutions to. This event is the first in a series of fieldwork events organised by Methods North West and will enable you to debate fieldwork approaches, dynamics and dilemmas arising from different disciplines.

 

FOR WHO: Any doctoral student or early career researcher at Keele University, Lancaster University, University of Liverpool and the University of Manchester. Attendance is compulsory for all NWSSDTP ESRC-funded students who signed up for the fieldwork stream.

PRICE: This event is free of charge. A small number of bursaries will be available reimburse reasonable travel expenses (e.g., second-class train tickets purchased in advance) for doctoral students from Keele University, Lancaster University and the University of Liverpool. All original travel tickets/receipts will be required to be submitted with an expense form that can be collected on the day of the event. Any questions to [log in to unmask]
