Webinar synopsis

This is an event for project scholars interested in engaging in a discussion about novel and emerging qualitative research methods. There is largely a dominance of quantitative and interview-based research in the field of project management and organising. This event presents an opportunity to shine a spotlight on some lesser used or novel qualitative methods to encourage a broader diversification of methods employed across our discipline.

Throughout this session, you will have the opportunity gain a deeper understanding into three methods and a snapshot introduction to other emerging novel qualitative approaches.

This event is a continuation of our ongoing Enhancing Project Management Research Capabilities (EPMRC) series where we have hitherto covered Enhancing Project Management Research Capabilities (Introduction) in December 2019, Unusual research methodologies: The paths less trodden in December 2020 and Responsible Research in Project Management in December 2021. This event encourages new and previous delegates to join in, therefore it is not a requirement to have attended the prior EPMRC events.
