A reminder that co-convenor Catherine Hastings will be presenting a webinar on Critical Realist methodology in applied social science research, including approaches to evaluation. It will start with a presentation on core features of critical realism, focusing on its practical implications for analysing causal complexity, the use of social theory, the intersection of structure and agency, and working within a framework of interdisciplinary inquiry. She will appraise the influence of critical realism on her research work, using applied and evaluative project examples, particularly focusing on how critical realism provides frameworks to better (in her option!) answer questions such as what generates a problem, for whom, why, and in what contexts.  The presentation will be followed by Q&A and discussion.
