8cp; 2hpw

The objective of this subject is to train students experientially in the methodologies, skills and theoretical perspectives required for research in international studies. Students focus on the critical, analytical and methodological skills required to conduct fieldwork research. Assessment is based around the oral presentation of a critical analysis of a research method, contributions to a continuing online discussion of their learning, and a written analysis of an aspect of cultural analysis. Students engage with aspects of international research through online lectures, including literature reviews, approaches to theory, fieldwork methodology, library and archive skills, ethics, online research, bibliographical and referencing skills and the development and presentation of a research proposal.
