Description:
Inclusive social research practice is high on the industry agenda, but it can be hard to separate the theory from tangible and practical action.
This course provides participants with an in-depth introduction to the core principles of designing and conducting inclusive research as well as why research practice needs to evolve before going on to cover how participants can embed inclusive research principles into both qualitative and quantitative methodologies.
It covers the importance of a human-first approach, how to establish trust and work in partnership in order vital to the process of undertaking inclusive research. As well, the course will cover the practical elements of undertaking inclusive research from defining the research problem to disseminating research findings inclusively. We’ll also explore the practical challenges faced by researchers.
Case studies are used throughout to enable participants to apply the learning to live projects, with a deep dive on question design and sampling as two of the most common areas impacted by (a lack of) inclusion.
By the end of the course, participants will gain a good understanding of how to practically embed inclusive research principles into their day-to-day work.
