Ethical and Methodological Issues in Area Studies
20 March 2012
University of Glasgow, Southpark Terrace 15, Turnbull Hall (301)
This one-day event builds on the recently established LBAS (Language-based areas studies) Pathway as part of the SGS DTC initiative. It aims to facilitate deepening linkages between CRCEES and CASAW as the two LBAS Centres of Excellence at the heart of the DTC Pathway. It will bring together insights from East European and Arabic Studies, but also allow for participation by students in SGS and other UK DTCs working on area studies or region-specific themes within other pathways (in this regard we anticipate strong interest from the other UK LBAS Centres of Excellence in East European and East Asian Studies). The event will also draw on the resources of the wider CRCEES and CASAW networks by bringing speakers from our partner institutions south of the border.
Topics will include: addressing ethical questions and concerns in area studies; conceptual and methodological issues in cross-cultural research; information on 'getting published'; best practice for conducting fieldwork.
Speakers will include: Professor Richard Berry; Professor Marilyn Booth; Dr Rosie Read; Dr Toby Kelly; and Dr Paul Jordan.
