How to Apply

The Graduate Seminar aims to support and enhance the supervision and training students already receive in their own Schools. It comprises four main activities, in rotation  over the course of the year:

• Seminars on issues of methodology and research strategy, with particular reference to new methodologies (e.g. internet-based research; visual methodologies)
  
• Presentations by students of their research to each other, for critical engagement and feedback
  
• Seminars on key debates in contemporary social research based around close reading of key texts (e.g. exemplary texts of ethnographic/ interview-based research; epistemology and theory in social research etc)
  
•  Workshops on transferable skills (such as writing for publication; presenting conference papers)

The seminars are open to all Birkbeck postgraduates. If you are interested in attending please send a brief description of your research interests to Julia Eisner j.eisner@bbk.ac.uk
