The module introduces you to a range of sociological methodologies and research methods that will equip you to design a small-scale research project in an area of sociology in the following year.
You will participate in a series of activities involving research techniques, where you will need to reflect on your own experience.
The “qualitative versus quantitative” debate will be examined. Ethical issues in sociological research, innovative methods for research and how to research social media will be explored.
