The IDEAS Lab kindly invites you to a talk by Prof. Robert Davison on Tuesday 6th of December 2022
Program
12:15 -13:15: Research lunch seminar
Title: Research Problematisation
Room: C1-09
Campus: Kvadraturen Kristiania
Address: Kirkegata 24, 0107 Oslo.
In this seminar, Robert explores how researchers motivate their research and, in particular, focuses on the concept of problematisation. He argues that careful problematisation will lead to a better-motivated research design with more significant contributions to research and practice. He contrasts problematisation with the often-practised “gap spotting” approach and outlines some of the deficiencies of the latter. He will provide examples of problematisation and ideas about how the technique can be applied in practice. The seminar should provoke debate about how and why we do research.
* PhD students and staff are very welcome.
( Snacks & coffee will be served).
13:30 -15:00 one-on-one meetings
Room: Ansattkantine (vis a vis, kantine)
If you want to discuss research with Robert, he will be available for a one-to-one talk, please book time in advance.
