In week 5, Dr Jim McKinley, UCL, joins us to talk about their recent research.

We look forward to seeing you there: this event is open to all students and staff! 

ABSTRACT

When conducting research, it is often inevitable that we will face obstacles and problems along the way. How can we overcome issues of validity, reliability, and ethicality? In this talk I address these issues and show how to undertake research whilst dealing with the challenges of this research involving real people in real settings. I provide examples of experienced researchers focusing on a problem in a research project, and outline the steps involved in overcoming the problem and completing a successful, and publishable, project. I hope the talk will generate discussion around the challenges we face with research methods, for those supervising postgraduate research, as well as those embarking on their first research project.
