Methods Workshops: Kinship and Relatedness
Date: Thursday 17 May 2007, 2-4pm
Location: Harold Hankins Building, University of Manchester (see below for directions)
This workshop is part of a full day's seminar on Kinship and Relatedness co-hosted by Real Life Methods and the Morgan Centre. Participants can come to any part, or all, of the seminar. Full programme details on the Morgan Centre website [new window].
Workshop Content
This workshop is part of a series on the practice and experience of social science research. The aim is to stimulate debate and to share experiences of methodological issues in researching a range of social science issues. Sessions will explore how different ways of seeing and conceptualising research questions and topics lead to distinctive methodological possibilities and challenges.
Each workshop starts with short and relatively informal presentations from people who have approached the same broad research concern in different ways, followed by discussion and debate.
Speakers
- Jeanette Edwards, Anthropology, University of Manchester 'Anthropology and Kinship over Time'
- Jennifer Mason and Katherine Davies, Sociology, University of Manchester 'Researching Family Resemblances'
Academics, researchers working outside academia, and postgraduate students are all welcome.
