Ethos and format

Ethnography Tuesdays and Research Thursdays are one-day training events orgnised by links@keele and held at Keele University.

The training will help you develop knowledge of and hands-on practice with fieldwork techniques and methods, including around dealing with ethical dilemmas, challenging fieldwork situations, innovative data collection methods, writing field notes, using visual methods and analysis with specialist software.

Ethnography Tuesdays and Research Thursdays will typically include a range of activities: keynote lecture, workshops, networking opportunities, roundtable discussions, ‘speed dating with ethnographers’, etc. Each day will always include a contribution by an Early Career Researcher and a keynote lecture by a seasoned ethnographer.
