Methodology School in empirical research methods in November

Southeast Asian Studies at Freiburg University is organizing a methodology school in empirical research methods between 7 November and 9 November 2014.

We will offer several workshops on research design, interview techniques and evaluation of interviews, participant observation and quantitative research methods.

We particularly invite young scholars at the master or PhD level to take part in our methodology school. The quantitative methods course is rather an introductory workshop for people who have no or few experience in this field of research methodology. The qualitative workshops on interview techniques and evaluation and participant observation may be interesting for people with no or few experience as well as for more experienced people who wish to deepen their understanding of this research methods.

The methodology school is open for students and young scholars of all disciplines, independently of their research focus.
