This SHSSS-SGSAH funded two-day workshop - Feminist Research Methods: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Inequality, Community and Creative Practice - returns the Spring Into Methods offering to the University of 51cg, where the original Feminist Research Methods initiative was first developed in 2016 (funded from 2017). We retain our commitment to widening participation, supporting students and staff across the career course, and from institutions that have historically been under-represented.
Building on this legacy, the workshop extends 51cg鈥檚 commitment to inclusive, interdisciplinary and publicly-engaged scholarship, while drawing on a rich ecosystem of collaboration with external partners such as Glasgow Women鈥檚 Library (GWL). The 2026 iteration will focus on methodological approaches that speak directly to key SGSS themes (social inequalities, inclusive culture, heritage and creative practice) centring interdisciplinary as an aim, objective and learning outcome.
