Methods and Research Design in (Global) Environmental Politics and Governance: Thinking about Problem-Solving

Thursday, June 21, 2018 at 2:00 PM–3:30 PM EDT
Y402
Type of Session

Discussion Symposium

Abstract

This symposium brings together expert scholars who employ a range of different methodological approaches and frameworks to help understand increasingly complex, multi-scalar, and linked environmental problems and politics. The purpose is to engage in discussion about research design, methods, data-gathering, and analysis, and we include approaches as various as ethnography, modelling, data science (especially using big data), comparative case analysis, visualization and statistical analysis. The session will be structured in a roundtable format, but requires the time afforded to this sort of session.

 

This symposium will provide a forum for graduate students and other junior members of the field, but really for any of us, to discuss how best to engage with applied/problem solving theory, interdisciplinarity, collaborative work, and a newly digitized research environment, in designing, asking and answering research questions.
