epistemic practices:

(a new course in research methods)

 

 

This is a core module for all doctoral researchers working through the gradcam programme of study. Through a team-based and participatory teaching and learning process the researcher is presented with the opportunity to:

  • Acquire a specific set of core research competencies
  • Critically contextualise and comparatively analyse different research undertakings
  • Reflexively deploy critical research competencies in framing and planning the major research project
  • Acquire practical experience in research writing competencies
  • Develop practical applications of competency in communicating research undertakings to specialist and non-specialist audiences
  • Apply critical reflection skills in communicating key aspects of their major research project
