International Observatory on End of Life Care Summer School Social Research Methods
The purpose of the Summer School is to provide an 'advanced introduction' to social research methods relevant to end of life care.
The course is 'advanced' in the sense that you will be taught by expert researchers who will develop your knowledge of selected methodologies to a high level. It is also an 'introduction' in that it assumes no prior knowledge of research methods in the social sciences and is aimed at those at an early stage in developing their own research.
The Summer School runs over a period of two weeks. Week 1 focuses on a classroom-based in-depth introduction to social research methods in end of life care. In week 2 students have the opportunity for group discussions and individual tutorials focused on the development of their own research ideas and projects. The second week will also provide opportunities to work within the Observatory's resource center, to undertake clinical and study visits and to pursue a program of supervised private study. Attendance can be for one or two weeks.
