* Caribbean Research Methodologies Conference 2018 *
*INVITATION*
*We invite you to join us for the Caribbean Research Methodologies
Conference 2018* to take place at the University of Trinidad and Tobago in
collaboration with the Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand.
The conference will be held on *12-13 September, 2018*.
The theme of the conference is: *“Critical thinking, interrogative
discourse and rigorous research - Shifting from Eurocentric approaches to
Caribbean ways of knowing”*
*PURPOSE*
The purpose of the conference is to explore quantitative and qualitative
research methodologies that embody and reflect Caribbean culture. The
development and use of Caribbean research methodologies are in response to
the need to question and challenge the accuracy and validity of traditional
Eurocentric and western approaches traditionally employed to study
Caribbean peoples and contexts.
The conference provides an opportunity to define, explore, develop and
promote research methodologies relevant to the Caribbean in order to share
knowledge and obtain information in ways that are common and familiar to
Caribbean people and their environments. It focuses on research
methodologies and includes theoretical frameworks, research planning,
research design, data gathering, data analysis, presentation of findings,
dissemination of results and other ways of contextualising research.
