Scholars with significant research experience beyond the PhD. Typical research methods needs / challenges you might face include:
We recognise that time is scarce for seasoned scholars like you. This workshop offers you a time-efficient formula to get tailored advice from senior methodologists.
March–June 2017 – input phase, registration and confirmation of the workshop
To take part, email Tamás before Monday 8 May (though the earlier the better) with a list of core questions or problems you currently face. Tamás will tailor the workshop to your needs.
Registration closes on Thursday 1 June; first come, first served. To guarantee best-quality advice and peer-to-peer interaction, we will take a maximum of nine participants.
Workshop confirmation no later than Monday 5 June.
The workshop: 27–29 July, 15 hours over three days
Seasoned Scholar Workshop 01 takes place in parallel with Seasoned Scholar Workshop 02, a qualitative, interpretive, case-oriented and comparative methods workshop taught by SSMT Academic Convenor Benoît Rihoux.
We will convene least one 90-minute common session involving Tamás, Benoît, their TAs and participants from both workshops, to focus on mixed/multi-methods questions.
Tamás will organise each day’s schedule flexibly, around participants’ needs. He will have at least three daily contact hours with the full group or sub-group. The workshop will involve group discussions / Q&A sessions around each participant’s personal projects, as well as discussions on overarching methodological issues. There will be ample time for one-to-one meetings with Tamás and Sanja.
You can also book at least one appointment with qualitiative workshop instructor Benoît, and you’ll have the chance to talk informally with other methods experts over dinner on the final day.
August–October 2017 – additional guidance, if needed
Tamás and Sanja will remain available for up to four Skype appointments per particpant. You are also welcome to email them for further guidance.
