23-27 August 2021 – Oxford Summer Course on Applied Research Methods

Focussing on Hard-to-Reach populations, the course provides an introduction to research methods in conducting research, both qualitative and quantitative, on marginal, hidden and excluded population. It will cover research on topics such as migrants; refugees and displaced people; children and adolescents; sex workers; homeless; LGBT; victims of violence, conflicts or trafficking; HIV/AIDS; drug users as well as topics proposed by participants. Aimed to promote action-oriented research, the course introduces the main theories and research approaches on exclusion and marginalization using different frameworks and techniques. It addresses methods and strategies to address the dangers associate with the lack of systematic use of solid research methodology, ethics, data collection and analysis in the formulation and evaluation of policies and programs.

The course is designed to bring together academics (Researchers, PhD and masters students) and practitioners (from NGOs, UN and Government Agencies), creating a unique opportunity for experience sharing and methodological cross-fertilisation. For more information click here.
