More detailsTraining Workshop: Doing Mixed Methods Research
This course is for people who have prior experience of doing mixed methods research and would like some training and guidance. The course will focus particularly on doing mixed methods research with longitudinal survey data. We will examine different strategies for doing mixed methods research, the limitations of survey data, sampling from a survey for qualitative work, and ways of generating and mixing data, offering examples from our own work with the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) and the National Child Development Study (NCDS). The course will open with a short introduction from each of the two studies on the kinds of mixed methods work that we are doing, followed by three sessions, each focusing on a different issue related to mixed methods research.

More detailsYoung Feminism
It is a widespread misconception that feminism is ‘post’ and did not make it into the 21st Century. Ideas that young women are post-feminist and do not engage with feminism is a trap! Since 2000 there has been an international and national surge in formal and informal, institutional and grassroots, transnational and local feminist initiatives. As a result, there has been an increase in popular feminist and academic publications on the subject. With this in mind, we organise an interdisciplinary PhD seminar on Young Feminism on the 11 May 2010, at the University of Manchester.

More detailsTurning Personal: An interdisciplinary conference
Turning Personal will explore how social research can incorporate more complex and multi-layered accounts of personal lives into academic writings and analyses. It has been argued that we now have a sociology without real people and the same may be said of some sister disciplines and although there have always been threads of work which re-imagine the personal (eg biographical work) there is more to be done and said about capturing some of the more detailed aspects of personal lives, as well as theorising personal life more cogently.

More detailsTourists at Home: Australian New Agers and their love of the land
For many Australian practitioners of alternative spiritualities the landscape has enormous significance as a source of personal and spiritual meaning. This significance is frequently enacted and understood by reference to sites with particular spiritual energies, historical associations, or where spiritual beings have been encountered. Recognition and knowledge of such places – particularly those perceived to have an Aboriginal history or ‘spirit’ – both celebrates and lays claim to the land. However, such claims are not always straightforward. Although Aboriginal people often serve as a synonym for the land itself, and thus are intrinsic to much of the land’s spiritual and personal value, their prior claims to its ownership can also discomfort non-Aboriginal practitioners of alternative spiritualities who wish to love the land but find that others have a higher claim.
