The Methods Matter Podcast – from Dementia Researcher & the National Centre for Research Methods. A podcast for people who don’t know much about methods…those who do, and those who just want to find news and clever ways to use them in their research.
In this second series Clinical Research Fellow, Dr Donncha Mullin from The University of Edinburgh brings together leading experts in research methodology, and the dementia researchers that use them, to provide a fun introduction to five qualitive research methods in a safe space where there are no such things as dumb questions!
Episode Four – Surveys and Questionnaires
In expert corner – Dr Petra Boynton. Petra is a Social Psychologist, specialising in International Health Research from a critical perspective. Over the past 20 years she has taught, supervised, and undertaken research across the social and health sciences and development within university and community settings as well as writing extensively Academic life, including publishing a book called ‘Being Well in Academia’, and being an Agony Aunt.
In researcher ranch – Dr Larissa Bartlett, who is an ISLAND Research Fellow at the Wicking Dementia Research & Education Centre at the University of Tasmania. Larissa’s PhD focussed on the promises and challenges of workplace-delivered mindfulness interventions for employee health and performance.
