Kanaris Lecture Theatre, Manchester Museum, The University of Manchester, Manchester, M13 9PL. United Kingdom.

Book here for the MethodsNW Annual Event on 10 May 2017.

MethodsX is a brand new event that will bring together students from across North West who are grappling with similar dilemmas in their research design and methodology. The MethodsX launch event will be a one day student-led conference divided into 4 themes:

  1. Quantitative methods
  2. Fieldwork
  3. New Forms of Data
  4. Archives and Collections

Each theme will be organised by a student committee with the support of academics. The themes will consist of presentations by students about their research experiences. Academic guests with relevant expertise will be invited to participate in the discussions.

MethodsX will provide a unique opportunity for students to develop and reflect upon their methodological approaches and research problems. The themed sessions will give students starting out on their research projects the chance to learn from those more advanced in their doctoral studies; those at later stages in their research, in turn, will benefit from being asked to reflect on their experiences of doing research.

Please signup for a place below, spaces are limited so if you are no longer able to attend then please cancel your place to allow someone else the opportunity.
