Researching and Publishing in Non-Western Contexts

Description:

The Centre for Accountability and Global Development and Essex Business School are pleased to launch a Short Course in Researching and Publishing in Non-Western Contexts: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Strategic Approaches, divided into three modules and delivered over three weeks:

Module A: Qualitative Research in Non-Western Contexts
Dates: 23, 25, 26 February 2026, 9am -12pm (BST)

Module B: Quantitative Research in Non-Western Contexts
Dates: 2, 4, 5, March 2026, 9am -12pm (BST)

Module C: Publication Strategies for Non-Western Research
Dates: 23, 25, 26 March 2026, 9am -12pm (BST)

This course equips researchers with the practical skills and strategies to not only design and conduct rigorous studies in non-Western contexts but also publish them in high quality and leading international journals. The course helps participants to tackle methodological, epistemic and publication barriers, helping them translate local insights into globally recognised scholarship.

 

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Design and conduct context-sensitive qualitative and quantitative research in non-Western settings.

• Critically engage with epistemic injustices and position research to contribute to global knowledge.

• Develop and execute effective publication strategies to place research in leading international journals.

• Build a sustainable research pipeline while amplifying voices from non-Western contexts.
