Creative research can help to overcome limits of conventional
methods, by involving more diverse groups and perspectives. However,
innovative and creative methods may seem intimidating, or it might be hard
to know where to start. This BSA Early Career Forum event invites
academics and doctoral candidates to explore possibilities for innovation and creativity
within research practice. The day will combine presentations by experienced
panel members, who will share their insights from using innovative and
inclusive methods, along with interactive activities, discussion, and
networking opportunities.
This Early Career Forum Regional Event is generously funded by the (BSA).
