This academic year (2022-23), Methods NorthWest welcomes contributions or offers of a seminar on social science methods (including cognate areas). These include (but not exclusively) qualitative, quantitative, digital/computational, investigative, creative/arts and interdisciplinary methods, sessions on adjusting methods to the realities and challenges of research after COVID-19, sessions on writing methods for publication. Methods sessions with a thematic focus (for example sustainability, inequality, gender, etc.) are also welcome.  We encourage sessions dealing with novel or new methodological developments in all of the NWSSDTP’s disciplinary areas.

If you would like to offer a Methods Northwest Seminar Series and are based at any of the partner institutions, please discuss with the Methods Lead at your institution before completing the online form here. Their contacts are listed below. They would normally be the person to chair your session. NWSSDTP will arrange the Eventbrite registration and share a zoom link. The sessions which run on Thursday afternoons from 2pm – 3pm can be presentations with Q&A or have a more conversational or interactive character.
