In-person short course on Research Methods in the Refugee and Forced Migration Field
We are pleased to share information on the in-person short course on Research Methods in the Refugee and Forced Migration Field by the Refugee Law Initiative (RLI), University of London, that will run in March 2025. Please note the deadline to apply for a place is 2nd February 2025.
This one-week short course, run by the RLI, covers research methods and ethics relating to the interdisciplinary study of refugees and forced migration.
The intensive research methods course provides high-quality training in methodology and ethics, by drawing on the extensive teaching experience and networks of the RLI. The course is aimed at early PhD students working on forced migration issues in the fields of social and political sciences and law, as well as early career researchers, humanitarian and development workers, civil society, and consultants working on issues relating to displaced persons.
The course will:
- Introduce students to qualitative and quantitative research methods, with a special focus on their applications in refugee and forced migration contexts
- Expose students to recognised best practice and ethical standards related to the study of forced migration
- Develop students’ intellectual and independent research skills so they will become more confident in designing and running their own research projects
Course Dates: 3-7 March 2025, 10am to 5pm
