This subject explores the relation between theory and research practice, through an examination of methodologies. It provides opportunities to look at key theoretical orientations and the methodologies used by theorists to undertake research in a variety of disciplinary and methodological contexts and, in particular, the nature of the knowledges produced in this process. The subject also provides a series of intensive methods workshops, that may be offered as day-long master classes, or as a workshop series, including qualitative and quantitative methods, action research, research on the Internet and research in policy contexts.
