January Spotlight: Be Relevant in 2022!

In this month’s series, Methodspace will focus on Research<>Relevance. What critical problems merit study? Who decides? These overarching questions will guide original posts, interviews and webinars on a range of topics.

January Mentors-in-Residence

When we want to gain a larger view, we might venture into the literature of a new methodology or discipline. How do we understand new areas of scholarship? We need to be able to evaluate research. Our Mentors-in-Residence, Francis Dane, and Elliot Carhart, co-authors of a new edition of Evaluating Research: Methodology for People Who Need to Read Research will explore these questions and discuss how to evaluate research.
