The Lecture
“So, you’re a Methodologist?”: Doing interdisciplinary, theory driven health and social research
Abstract
It is not uncommon to be mystified by the term ‘methodology’. However, in this lecture, Professor Greenhalgh hopes to demystify methodology, explore what methodologists do, and show how they contribute to advancing knowledge in health and social care research. She will trace the development of her research to understand how patient reported outcome measures can improve patient care and her application of realist methodology to this field. She will draw on examples from her collaborative research in developing realist methodology and demonstrate how it has been applied to evaluate a range of healthcare technologies.
We would like to welcome everyone – be they colleagues, postgraduate researchers, students, alumni or visitors – to this lecture celebrating the achievement and research contributions of Professor Greenhalgh.
The lecture will take place on Thursday 3 October 2024 at 17:00 on campus at the University of Leeds (venue tbc and announced shortly). The lecture will take place from 17:00-18:00 including introductions and a Q&A session, after which there will be a drinks reception.
