This module runs over two terms. The first part of the module will enable students to use psychosocial and psychoanalytic methods to conduct their own research for their dissertation. The module will introduce a range of empirical and conceptual approaches to doing research in the field of psychosocial and psychoanalytic studies and will examine how specific methods such as interviewing, ethnography, case studies or feminist methodologies can be used to examine complex, relational or unconscious phenomena of psychic and social life. The second part of the module will focus more strongly on the independent research project and dissertation. The module will offer two intensive workshop days with sessions on how to organize the research and how to write a postgraduate dissertation as well as sessions on how to develop a career after graduation.
