Advanced Qualitative Methods (AQualM) Away Day

The inaugural WRDTP Advanced Qualitative Methods Away Day brings together doctoral students and established scholars to engage with cutting-edge debates in qualitative methodology. The day will include keynotes by Professor Kate Reed, Professor of Sociology at the University of Manchester, and Professor Rachel Holmes, Professor of Cultural Studies of Childhood at MMU.

Abstract submissions for the parallel sessions are now closed. The key dates for this event are as follows:

• Abstract submission deadline: Friday 6th March;
• Notification of acceptance: Tuesday 31st March;
• Registration deadline (all attendees): Wednesday 6th May;
• Away Day: Wednesday 20th May at Manchester Metropolitan University.

This event is fully booked. If you would like to attend, and do not yet have a place, please join the waiting list. Any places that become available will be released to the waiting list on a first come, first served basis.

The full programme for this event (part of which will take place at Manchester Art Gallery) is being finalised, and will be shared with registered attendees by email soon.

Important:

• This is an in-person event at Manchester Metropolitan University and Manchester Art Gallery (lunch and refreshments will be provided for all attendees).
• This event is open to members of WRDTP partner institutions only.
• Bookings (for all attendees) will close at 9.00am on Wednesday 6th May.
• When booking, we ask that you use your institutional (.ac.uk) email address and complete all fields of the booking form. Thank you for your understanding.

Please note: The WRDTP is committed to sustainability and to reducing the waste from excess catering at events. A key challenge here is non-attendance at events. From October 1st 2025, the WRDTP will be changing the way we manage the non-attendance of PGR students who have booked place/s at WRDTP Training events. Any PGR student who does not inform the WRDTP (via [email protected]) that they will not be able to attend a WRDTP event at least 3 working days before the event takes place will have the cost of their place deducted from their RTSG (if a WRDTP-funded student), or have this charged to their department (if not funded by the WRDTP). This will allow us to better plan for events and to avoid catering waste. Thank you in advance for your cooperation on this matter.
