Horizons Methods Link 2

Professor Abigail Harrison Moore (Art History and Museum Studies) is a guest researcher in this Horizons Methods Link session along with Dr Chris Hassall (Animal Biology).

Understanding research methodologies from different disciplines can be a way of breaking down disciplinary barriers and starting interdisciplinary conversations. In sessions organised by the Horizons Institute at the University of Leeds, researchers from different disciplines are challenged to find commonality in their research methods and see whether this commonality might present a way to work together.

For the second in the Methods Link series, please join Professor Abigail Harrison Moore from the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Cultures and Dr Chris Hassall from the Faculty of Biological Sciences as they attempt to find commonality in their methods and approach to research.

As a participant, for this online session you will initally be asked to join one of the invited academics who will give you a short overview on the methods they use in their research. The second part of the session will be a discussion between the two academics to see where their methods or approaches may be similar. Participants will be invited to share observations and ask questions towards the end of the discussion.
