This seminar builds on knowledge gained at undergraduate level about the principles, processes and practices of social research. It aims to deepen student's understanding of the practical, epistemological and ethical aspects of social research, and to prepare graduate students for fieldwork. A selection of topics has been chosen that cover major social research methods. The course will provide students with an understanding of the practical aspects of doing social research from writing a literature review to preparing a research proposal, choosing a research method and writing up a thesis, as well as allowing an opportunity for students to critically discuss the data collection/generation process, subjectivity and reflexivity, and the conduct of ethical behaviour from recruitment to representation of research participants.
