Methods Futures
The Methods Futures project explored factors, including technological and research related developments, that may impact social research. Its aims were to support researchers in anticipating change and to build capacity in a strategically driven methodological responses.
The project produced a series of briefings focused on important socio-technical changes that are likely to have a bearing on social research methods and may have greater future impact. Each development raises a range of epistemic, methodological, and interdisciplinary concerns, which should build awareness of potential impacts on social research. The briefings, edited by NCRM's Dr Robert Meckin and Professor Mark Elliot, introduce the changes and offer ideas and further reading for the research community.
