SUMMARY:NCRM Summer School - Building quality in inclusive\, participatory and emancipatory research
DESCRIPTION:The ESRC National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM) will be holding its 14th residential summer school in Southampton in July 2019. The topic of this year’s summer school is a response to increasing interest from policy-makers in sponsoring research that is in some way inclusive of the people the policy affects\, changing the dynamics between research producers\, users and participants. The drive toward patient or service user engagement in research spans many social as well as health domains and has resulted in innovative models of working and alternative research methods. \n  \nThe 2019 NCRM Summer School provides an opportunity for early career researchers to develop knowledge and skills in participatory methods and the methodological thinking associated with this turn towards democratization of research. Participants will be introduced to inclusive\, participatory or emancipatory methods work in a range of substantive areas and have opportunities to develop their own research practice. The emphasis is on balancing and negotiating the drive for good quality inclusion with the drive for good quality research. \n  \nThe Summer School will be led by NCRM’s Melanie Nind and Ros Edwards (University of Southampton). It will open with a keynote presentation from Peter Beresford on involving and advancing the diverse knowledges of citizens and service users in research\, and close with a keynote from Kaz Stuart on problematising simplistic notions of research\, participation and quality. Other sessions will include presentations on participatory data generation methods\, inclusive research designs\, and approaches to data analysis. There will also be opportunities for participants to take part in panel discussions\, to work with others on some of the methodological challenges arising from their own work\, and to be actively engaged in doing things beyond talking\, listening and reflecting. \nFor more information on the Summer School and to apply for your place please follow this link: https://www.ncrm.ac.uk/training/SummerSchool/ \n

SUMMARY:NCRM: Smartphones and Mobile Sensors in Online Surveys: Opportunities and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) are increasingly being used by respondents to complete Web surveys. This presents a number of design challenges for survey researchers. Smartphones also offer a number of added possibilities for survey designers\, such as the use of GPS to track movement\, apps to trigger measurement at set times (ecological momentary assessment)\, the possibility of capturing images\, and other features. This course will focus on the design implications of the rise of mobile device use for survey research. The research evidence will be reviewed\, and the various options for accommodating mobile Web users will be discussed. The challenges of using the enhanced features of mobile phones for general population surveys will also be reviewed on day 1 of the course.\nThe day 2 will start with the discussion of data quality in mixed-device online surveys in the UK. \nAlso on day 2\, we will further explore the opportunities and challenges of doing mobile surveys through a browser or via an app. We will zoom in on the types on contextual data that can be collected using mobile phone sensors. Such data include data on movement (e.g. to measure activities)\, locations or the environment (light\, noise). Participants can work with an example dataset derived from an app that tracked respondent and measured their geo-locations. \nThe course is focused on situations where respondents are using their own devices\, i.e.\, the designer has little control over the device used. Participants are encouraged to bring their own example surveys to the course to discuss. \n  \nFor more information\, visit the event page on the NCRM website

SUMMARY:Qualitative Methods - Designing research with qualitative comparative analysis (QRA)
DESCRIPTION:Qualitative Methods – Designing research with qualitative comparative analysis (QRA)\nUpgrade your qualitative method skills \nWe offer two tailored 5-day (1 week) qualitative methods modules on one of the UK’s most scenic university campuses\, close to the lovely beaches of Cornwall. The modules have a practical\, hands-on focus on the possibilities and pitfalls of applying a range of comparative qualitative and case study techniques in different research settings. Each module has up to 25 participants and consists of a 3 hour seminar in the morning and a 1 hour lab session in the afternoon each day. \nThe modules are open to postgraduate research students\, PhD students\, postdocs\, academics\, and research-oriented practitioners who engage in social research\, across the UK and internationally. Upon completion of a written assignment\, each module is credited with an equivalent of 7.5 ECTS points. You can also attend the modules without getting credits if you wish to. \nYou can sign up for one or both modules. If you have any questions\, please contact us at penryn-methods@exeter.ac.uk \nWeek 2: Designing Research with Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA)\nWhen? 10-14 June 2019 \nWhat? This module introduces you to the nuts and bolts of Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA)\, an innovative set-theoretic technique that allows for comparisons of small\, intermediate or large numbers of cases in order to identify necessary and / or sufficient conditions for an outcome. It is an attractive method for scholars who seek to model causally complex patterns and integrate in-depth case knowledge at all stages of the analysis. We will introduce you to performing QCA with the freely available R software using the user-friendly RStudio environment. QCA: Origin\, variants\, uses and approaches \n\nSet theory and causal complexity\nDefining\, structuring\, measuring and calibrating concepts as sets\nAnalyses of necessity and sufficiency\nTruth tables\, limited diversity and counterfactual reasoning\nConservative\, intermediate and parsimonious solution types\nSet-theoretic multi-method research\nPotential pitfalls (skewed data\, model ambiguities\, robustness\, etc.)\n\nWho? The course targets MRes and PhD students\, researchers and research-oriented practitioners from the United Kingdom and abroad\, in the social sciences and beyond. You should have basic knowledge of comparative empirical research. No prior knowledge of statistical software is required\, although it might be an advantage. \nModule aims\nAt the end of the week\, you will: \n\nBe able to design your research using Qualitative Comparative Analysis\nUnderstand the logic and technical underpinnings of Qualitative Comparative Analysis\nBe able to independently perform a crisp-set or fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis using the R software environment\nBe aware of potential pitfalls of Qualitative Comparative Analysis\, and ways of addressing them\nBe familiar with some seminal texts about Qualitative Comparative Analysis\, covering both classics and recent innovations.\n\nAssessment\nTo get the most out of the course\, you should reserve about 2 hours per afternoon for directed reading and other small daily assignments which are not graded. In order to obtain credits (15 credits/ 7.5 ECTS)\, you’ll need to complete an applied QCA analysis of 4000 words\, to be submitted by 12 July 2019. Full instructions will be given in the module handbook nearer the time. Please see the detailed module description for more information. \nPOCM101 module description and indicative reading list

SUMMARY:NCRM Training: Interpretive Political Science
DESCRIPTION:As a rule\, our courses cost £30 a day for UK/EU students and £60 a day for UK/EU academics\, researchers or public service staff. Register for the event here. \n\n\n\nMany students in the social sciences\, especially in political science\, public policy and public administration who decide to undertake qualitative or interpretive research feel they are unqualified to do so. They express deep-seated confusion about the reliability and generalizability of data\, results\, and conclusions. In particular they feel that interpretive approaches lack the type of specialised training that has become commonplace in quantitative political science. The aim of this course is to redress this gap. We will equip students with a toolkit that will enable them to both conceptualise and execute an interpretive project. \nThe course covers: \n\nSituating the interpretive approach in relation to other ways of doing political science research by reference to the philosophical\, epistemological\, and methodological assumptions on which these approaches are based;\nThe theoretical and analytical tools students need to design and conduct their research project;\nThe toolkit of methods used by interpretive scholars to collect data\, including ethnographic and interview-based methods;\nThe standards that will both ensure results are reliable and maximise the impact of findings; and\nGuidance on the norms and principles used to analyse data in an interpretive project.\n\nBy the end of the course participants will: \n\nBe able to describe the particular strengths and features of the interpretive approach\nBe able to develop and justify a sophisticated design for interpretive research\nHave experience interpreting rich qualitative data\n\nThe course is primarily aimed at PhD students and early career scholars of political science\, public policy and public administration\, but scholars of other social science disciplines\, such as criminology\, sociology\, planning or legal studies\, will also benefit from it. There are no pre-requisites but you will be asked to bring a written summary of your research with you.
