2025/26 workshops

Workshops and training sessions tailored to PGRs in the arts and humanities.

Artsmethods Core Methodology and Core Theory Programme

This programme of twenty workshops over two semesters provides postgraduates with both an introduction to a selected range of theories and research methods, as well as practice-based activities and applications of research methods to specific disciplines.

Workshops offer researchers the opportunity to work with theories and methods critically and effectively and to integrate these practices into their doctoral research. They can be booked via the Training Calendar and the number of participants per workshop is limited to 25.

All workshops are led by Dr Letizia Alterno.
