Session: Realist Methodologies
Time: Wednesday 6th July, 15:45 - 17:15
Convenor:
Dr Nick Emmel (University of Leeds)
Abstract Details
Realist methodologies are increasingly finding a place in social science research. Designing, implementing, and reporting from realist approaches requires different ways of thinking about the object of enquiry, relationships with the subjects of investigation, and the kinds of claims from research than more established methodologies. In this session we will consider what realism is and its implications for research design. We will elaborate these principles, investigating examples of realist evaluations, synthesis reviews, and research used to address different problems. The session will be of particular interest to those looking to or applying realist approaches in their research.
