Understanding when and why to use specific research methods and knowing how to use them well, effectively, safely and ethically is essential to conducting sound research work in the academic sphere and in the professional world. 

These modules provide an introduction to formulating a research question; identifying appropriate methods to explore that question; tutorials focused on specific research methods; such as surveys, interviews, and ethnographic research; data analysis; and publication and sharing of your findings. 

We imagine that the methods modules could provide a complement to a course or a timely refresher when preparing a fellowship, grant application or a research assignment. The modules will offer tools to develop skills applicable to independent research or extracurricular engagement during undergraduate or graduate studies, to competitive post-graduate fellowships or the workplace.
