EDST Student Workshop Crafting a research project: Marrying theory and method

Bathseba Opini (EDST Lecturer) & Marissa Muñoz (EDST PhD Candidate)
Monday, Nov. 18th, 2:30-4:00pm
Ponderosa G Lounge

For many graduate students, their focus of interest is very clear; however, when it comes to designing a study to research their topic, the process can be confusing and quite intimidating. This workshop will provide a roadmap for addressing research design and facilitate a discussion among colleagues that will hopefully assist people in finding their way along the road to research success. The topics discussed will include drafting good research questions, integrating theory and methodology, and working through roadblocks – both conceptual and practical.

EDST Lecturer Bathseba Opini will discuss the process of building a project from the ground up with solid questions, and a good match between theory and methodology. PhD Candidate Marrisa Muñoz will share her experiences of coming to terms with research design from both her MA project and her current work.

This discussion will be useful for people who do not have a great deal of experience with academic research, and also for those who are about to embark upon or are currently mired in the process and would like some hints to keep (or to get) them on track.
