Twighlight Seminars
The Southern Schools Research Group hosted the first in what we anticipate will be an ongoing series of collaborative 'twilight' research meetings, each highlighting a specific research method/methodology. On Monday July 5th, (from 4:30 - 6pm in the International Room 5.34), the Southern Schools Group presented six, ten-minute presentations focusing on "interviews" as a key research technique. The six researchers provided a wonderfully diverse window onto the world of interviewing. Their approaches ranging from quantitative survey research through to post-structuralism. The night was very well attended, the ensuing discussion was lively and everyone enjoyed a beverage and light snack. Look out for our next twilight seminar which we hope to run in September 2010.
