Methods Matter - Oral Histories & Story Telling

The Methods Matter Podcast - from Dementia Researcher & the National Centre for Research Methods. A podcast for people who don't know much about methods...those who do, and those who just want to find news and clever ways to use them in their research. In this second series Clinical Research Fellow, Dr Donncha Mullin from The University of Edinburgh brings together leading experts in research methodology, and the dementia researchers that use them, to provide a fun introduction to five qualitive research methods in a safe space where there are no such things as dumb questions! Episode One – Oral Histories & Story Telling In expert corner - Dr Kahryn Hughes, from University of Leeds. Director of the Timescapes Archive, Editor in Chief of Sociological Research Online, Convenor of the MA Qualitative Research Methods and a Senior Fellow for the NCRM. In researcher ranch - Dr Katya Sion, Postdoctoral Researcher in Living-Lab in Ageing and Long-Term Care at Maastricht University. Katya’s research is focused on quality of residential elderly care from the resident’s perspective and how to assess this. Her current postdoc position is aimed at the national valorisation of the narrative method ‘Connecting Conversations’, which was developed during her PhD.
