This module will develop students’ research capacity, with a view to developing their own thesis research. An overview of different research methodologies and methods will be provided by staff working in these areas, to inspire and guide students’ own research work. We will explore the rationale and practicalities of research including theoretical and methodological perspectives, research design, sampling, ethics, conducting and presenting research. Methods covered will include survey research, individual and focus group interviewing, observations, visual and arts-based approaches, narrative and documentary research, and action research.
