Deadline: Monday 20 November 2017

Place: University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh.

This one-day course explores various different types of experimental approaches available to social scientists. These include the economic games of experimental economics, to the ‘experiments in the field’ of experimental ethnography, the natural experiments that have high evidential value in public health, and large randomized controlled trials increasingly used in public policy and development. The course will emphasise the practical and creative aspects of designing experiments, and the ethical and interpretative issues they give rise to.

The cost for PGRs is £30. For further information and to book, visit the Southampton Online Store.
