The aim is to stimulate further interest in, and understanding of, qualitative methods in the addiction field. The day will be structured around lectures by four leading UK-based qualitative researchers, who will each showcase one of their own qualitative projects. There will also be time for discussion and interaction with the audience. The event will be filmed and the recordings will be edited and curated to produce a new qualitative methods resource for the SSA website.

The event is aimed at people who already have a working understanding of qualitative methods. The cost will be £40 per person (which will include lunch and morning and afternoon refreshments). Places are limited to 50 and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Speakers

• Professor Carol Emslie, Glasgow Caledonian University
• Dr Caitlin Notley, University of East Anglia
• Dr Polly Radcliffe, King’s College London
• Professor Gerda Reith, University of Glasgow
