Here is the programme for the 2006 autumn series of student seminars:
THURSDAYS 10 - 1230 am
All full-time research students are expected to attend these Thursday morning seminars on research methodology. As well as introducing key methodological debates, the seminars provide a forum for students to share and discuss their own research experiences with a wider group. Part-time research students and MA students are also welcome to come along. Summaries and papers from these seminars are circulated by email to all students (at UEA email address) and are available on the CARE research student intranet (www.uea. ac.uk/care). The EDU/DEV seminars are open to students and staff and are intended to provide an opportunity to meet colleagues in the School of Development Studies working on educational research.
