Hi everyone
Instats is excited to offer a 1-day seminar, Principles of Research Design, livestreaming on 23 October and led by Dr Bob Hancké of PEACS and the LSE European Institute. Properly structured research designs are the cornerstone of credible and impactful studies, and this intensive workshop will provide PhD students, academics, and professional researchers with an overview of how to conceive and execute projects that meet the highest scholarly research-design standards. Drawing on insights from his book Intelligent Research Design (Oxford), Dr Hancké will guide participants through the philosophical foundations of social inquiry, the crafting of compelling research questions and hypotheses, the selection and integration of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches, and the evaluation of reliability and validity. The seminar will focus on how to bridge theory and empirical methods, and produce work that withstands rigorous peer review while being relevant for both academic and policy debates.
Sign up today to secure your place, and feel free to share this free opportunity with colleagues and students who might benefit!
Best wishes
