This is the second episode of an NCRM “In Conversation” series that focuses upon the emerging field of material methods where Sophie Woodward talks to Amy Twigger Holroyd and Emma Shercliff about the Stitching Together network. Stitching Together is a network of academics and practitioners that develop and use a variety of participatory textile making methods to address wide ranging issues. Amy and Emma introduce some of these projects as well as outline the potentials for cross-disciplinary developments of these practice-based material methods.

This is the first episode of an NCRM “in conversation” series that focuses upon the emerging field of material methods. Sophie Woodward introduces what material methods are, and discusses them as ways to understand materiality and materials as well as part of the broader remit of creative methods. Through conversation, Natasa Lackovic introduces Inquiry Graphics methods as an example of material methods. This is the first in a series of conversations that will explore different material methods, through a range of different disciplines, showcasing different academics and methods.

Professor Vernon Gayle (University of Edinburgh) introduces the Poisson distribution. A sporting example is used to exemplify the concept of expected outcomes. Some social science examples are provided and some alternative models for count data are introduced.

This 28-minute video introduces the concept of the data analysis workflow.
The focus of this video is social science research that employs statistical techniques to analyse data. Many of the issues associated with the statistical data analysis workflow also pervade other forms of social science research (e.g. qualitative data analysis), despite the different nature of the data and the analytical techniques that are used.

The focus of this video is social science research that employs statistical techniques to analyse observational data (e.g. social surveys). Many of the issues associated with undertaking transparent and reproducible data analysis pervade other forms of social science research (e.g. qualitative data analysis), despite the different nature of the data and the analytical techniques that are used.

Dr. Michael B. Duignan (University of Surrey) details how theory and examples in Video 1 apply to Olympic cities as one example of an extreme environment. Specifically how Olympic cities become temporarily spatially reconfigured and how this temporarily (though sometimes permanently) changes the way visitors, residents flow and businesses operate across the city. These changes include roads, parks, beaches, whole town centres et cetera, and represent just a few of the complex ways a city is transformed as a result of hosting the Olympics.

Dr Michael B. Duignan (University of Surrey), details the limitations of walking methods, particularly mini-ethnographies that are of a limited length in time and how these can be partially overcome by extending analysis or by triangulating with other methods and data sets. The video closes by discussing digital participatory techniques (e.g. vlogging and micrologging) to help disseminate findings and stimulate dialogue with potential stakeholders who may be interested or may impact your work.

This video briefly introduces the discipline of somatic practices, leading up to a wider view on knowledge and perception than one only based in cognition. Instead, the entire body can be considered as a way to get to know things.

Dr. Michael B. Duignan (University of Surrey) details what walking methods are, how they have evolved, why they are useful. Specifically, how they have become popularised across a variety of disciplines + fields, including anthropology, human geography, sociology, + tourism. Particularly useful for accessing entangled relationships that exist between humans, non-humans, natural and social environments. And, how complex environments can be rich in data and accessed by walking and associated activities like riding bikes, back of taxi or other modes of public / private transport.
