The Social Research Association’s 2021 annual conference is now open, and it's inviting submissions for workshop presentations at this virtual event in the week of 22 November.
Tthe conference didn't take place in 2020 but attendees normally come from national and local government, other public bodies, research agencies and institutes, academia and the voluntary and independent sectors.
The organisers are looking for presentations that share experiences, insights and learning with an audience of practitioners – research problems faced, what worked and what didn’t, and why. Suggested themes include:
- Research in the pandemic and what comes next
- Making research more inclusive
- Qualitative innovation
- Survey developments
- Evaluative methods
- The use (and abuse) of research findings
- New directions with data
- 'Wild card’: something different!
The deadline for submissions is Monday 5 July. The SRA Events Group will review entries and aim to let applicants know the outcome in August.
Most of the 20-minute workshop presentations will be pre-recorded, and presenters need to attend the live session to take part in the Q&A. Presenters will pay a reduced delegate fee.
Submissions should be made on a Word document template that is downloadable from the SRA Events page.
