Workshops and presentations

The research team held four research development workshops in Sheffield and London in April 2010. Using a combination of teaching and discussions workshops explored:

  • how to increase the quality of research
  • ethical and scientific issues
  • guidance for good practice throughout the whole research process
  • findings from an ongoing JRF funded project

The powerpoint presentations used throughout the day are available here: Presentation 1: Ethnic Diversity in UK Social Science and Public Policy Research, Presentation 2: From Pitfalls to Principles - Conducting Applied Social Research on Ethnic Inequalities.

Peter Allmark held two workshops related to the project:

4/12/2007 Goodenough College, London. Monitoring ethnic diversity in UK Social Science and public policy research.

8/4/2008 Royal College of Nursing International Research Conference: Workshop: Ethnic diversity in UK social science and public policy research.

The aims of these workshops were:

  • To help participants clarify their own ideas and beliefs concerning ethnicity and social science research using discussion methods focused around vignettes;
  • To discuss whether guidelines for social science and public policy research would be a feasible and useful outcome of the JRF project.

The workshops involved a mixture of presentation and then discussion around questions and case studies. Attached here are copies of the PowerPoint presentation (with lecture notes), a briefing paper and the case study scenarios used.
