About this Event

Convened by Dr Raksha Pande from the School of Geography, Politics and Sociology at Newcastle University, this one-day workshop considers the methodological and epistemological aspects of fieldwork in development contexts.


It is suitable for PhD researchers who intend to use qualitative methodologies in different international spaces.


Over the course of two days, you should hopefully:

• Develop a critical understanding of the scope and limits of field research

• Better appreciate the ethical issues involved in field research

• Learn about the practical aspects of planning your field research

• Become aware of some of the challenges associated with longer term field research


The workshops will include testimonies from a variety of researchers who use qualitative methodologies including insights on research ethics, practical challenges, and reflexive working. There will also be opportunities for attendees to participate in small group discussions and reflective feedback sessions, adapting the information learned over the two days and applying it toward their own research contexts.


The workshop is free for NINE- DTP students and PGR students from Durham, Newcastle, Northumbria, Sunderland and Teesside Universities.
