The next PostGrad Café will be held on Wednesday 25th October in the Glamorgan Building Senior Common Room at 5pm. The theme will be qualitative research. Susanne Langer and Inna Kotchetkova of QUALITI, and Maggie Gregory, the reviews editor of Qualitative Research, will discuss the resources and opportunities available to postgraduate students. Outlines of the talks are provided below.
The talks will be followed by questions and a general discussion. Snacks and drinks will be provided. All postgraduate students with an interest in social research are welcome.
Dr Susanne Langer and Dr Inna Kotchetkova, Research Associates, QUALITI, Cardiff School of Social Sciences
This event will be dedicated to qualitative research - a term that hides a bewildering diversity of questions, methods and traditions. Drawing on the work of QUALITI - the Cardiff node of the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods - and our experience as early career researchers, we will introduce some of the research done by social scientists working within a qualitative research paradigm. The event will also introduce postgraduates to ways of using their growing academic skills for more than just writing a thesis.
Dr Maggie Gregory, Research Fellow, CESAGen, Cardiff School of Social Sciences
Maggie Gregory is the Reviews Editor of Qualitative Research, a journal edited by Paul Atkinson and Sara Delamont of the School of Social Sciences. Writing book reviews is part of an academic career, both broadening knowledge and critical reading skills, and maintaining a steady stream of published writing. Maggie will discuss the book review process and invite postgraduate students to contribute book reviews to Qualitative Research. Maggie will also discuss the establishment of a qualitative research reading group to encourage the re/visitation of methodological issues throughout academic research careers.
