The Centre for Literacy and Multilingualism is delighted to invite you to register for our Research Methods Summer School 2025. This year we will focus on qualitative methods in language research. The summer school will run over two days and will be completely online (Microsoft Teams), allowing scholars to attend from all over the world. Dr Vishnu Nair and Dr Tony Capstick will be leading the sessions, and we will also have guest speakers from across the globe. The summer school is suitable for researchers in any language-related discipline (Linguistics, Applied Linguistics, Education, Psychology, Speech and Language Therapy) and will have a particular focus on multilingualism, decolonising methods and ethnography (see schedule below for more details).
Attendance is free and open to all, but places are limited. To reserve your place, please register here. Places will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.
