Methodology and Methods

We are inviting papers from all areas of socio-legal and empirical legal research which explicitly address methodology and methods through detailed description of the methodology/methods used in particular projects, explanation of why the methodology/methods were chosen and reflections on lessons learned. As examples of the types of papers that have been presented in this stream, last year’s papers included discussion of ethnographic approaches, use of historical written sources, use of grounded theory to analyse data from focus groups, analysis of natural conversational material such as police interviews, and the various ethical issues involved in researching vulnerable social groups.
