Description:
This year's Autumn School will be an exploration of the ways in which methods evolve across time, space and disciplinary boundaries, focusing particularly on methodological innovations relating to researchers from different disciplines coming together. Participants will be introduced to a range of examples of methodological developments and will be encouraged to think about what these might potentially offer to their own research. The Autumn School will be led by Professor Melanie Nind (University of Southampton) and will open with a presentation by Geoff Payne, University of Newcastle, in which he will reflect on the evolution of methods in UK sociology. Other sessions will include presentations on methods on the move, focusing on what happens when the arts meet the social sciences (with speakers Susan Hogan and Maggie O'Neill) and when social science and computer science interact (with speakers Nigel Gilbert, Sarah Parsons and Karen Guldberg). There will also opportunities for participants to take part in workshops and to discuss some of the methodological challenges arising from their own work - and of course plenty of time for socialising and networking!
