This face-to-face workshop is about ethnography and the wonders, dramas, and challenges of doing an ethnographic PhD project. Our hope is that you will be able to experience some of this in the workshop and leave feeling better equipped to embark on your own ethnographic project.
An introduction focused on arts-based data creation using an adapted photovoice methodology. This session will provide an overview of photovoice and discuss how other arts-based methods can be incorporated. A hands on element will provide attendees with the opportunity to engage with the co-analysis process using the systematic visuo-textual analysis framework.
In this three-day course you will learn how to apply computational methods for the collection, management and analysis of textual data.

This one-day workshop invites participants to engage creatively and critically with Participatory Action Research (PAR) through the arts education practice of A/r/tography. The workshop affords participants an opportunity to practically apply a creative-relational research method that embodies not only what can be reported but what is ‘felt’ at their sites of research.
How does your research fit into emergent post-disciplinary spaces in Academia? This 1-day workshop is a co-production of the Advanced Research Centre (University of Glasgow) and the Binks Hub (University of Edinburgh).
Co-production and knowledge mobilisation are two of the most current and exciting approaches for doing research and communicating outputs. Both are powerful tools for understanding and facilitating positive change across society.
This training event focuses on a practical introduction to the variety of missing data methods in use across social scientific research. This event will navigate methodological best practices to implement into your own research – learning the pitfalls and ‘gold standard’ methods to handle missing data.
This training seeks to offer a platform for doctoral researchers to lead a conversation on intersectionality in the specific area of language (teacher) education. It will also allow them to broaden their understanding and use of intra-/inter-disciplinarity and develop a toolbox of appropriate research methods in language education-oriented research.
Social scientists researching marginalised communities face particular methodological and ethical considerations. Rather than seeing these considerations as obstacles to be overcome, this training will focus on how researchers can use digital ethnography and media content analysis to respect the needs of their participants, all without compromising the quality of data collected.
The Scottish Doctoral Colloquium (ScotDoc) in Accounting and Finance is an annual event that provides a platform for PhD students across Scotland to present their research, receive feedback, and network with academics. The event includes plenary sessions with distinguished speakers and parallel research presentation sessions.
This is a one-day methodology workshop for PhD students working across science, technology, innovation, and healthcare research and practice. The workshop will prepare students to work with ‘queer data’ as part of their data collection, evaluation, and interpretation processes.
This is a reflective session on navigating ethics, and dealing with trauma, vulnerability and emotions in research.
This workshop will introduce you to the arguments for why we need to improve our research practices in quantitative social science research, and you will learn skills which will help you to promote the transparency and reproducibility of your statistical research.
You will have the chance to hear about the Researcher Access Service, a new service which was launched in April 2024 and provides a streamlined approvals process for accessing certain datasets, and how RDS are making synthetic datasets available for research.
As you get started on your PhD journey, this session will introduce you to some strategies and techniques for managing your research project, which will ultimately support your wellbeing.
We will use the example of the work of the Scottish Poverty and Inequality Research Unit to reflect on the ways in which we can use social science research to shape Scottish (and beyond) society for the common good.
Join the SGSSS Research Impact Team and the Scottish Government to find out more about the opportunities of the SGSSS internship scheme. This session will draw on the real world experiences of hosts and former interns to share the experience of completing an internship as a PhD student.
In this session we will explore how to ask questions in a way that enable the people we are listening to. We will focus on the dangers of asking questions in a way that is laden with values or where the researcher runs the risk of presuming that they already know the answers.
