Birkbeck Institute for Social Research – Colloquium
‘Gatekeepers and social research: hindrance or facilitation?’
16th June 2011, Birkbeck, University of London, London, UK
Gaining access to a fieldwork site or a population is a key stage in most ethnographic studies and qualitative research, and gatekeepers are often sought by researchers to facilitate this process. Gatekeepers, however, may also hinder the development of research, and contribute to changing its scope entirely. With some exceptions, and despite their key role in shaping, constraining or facilitating research, gatekeepers have received little attention in the social research methods literature. This colloquium aims to make a contribution towards filling this gap, by offering a space for inter- and cross-disciplinary discussion on the difference that gatekeepers make to research.
We invite abstracts addressing the theme of the colloquium. They should be sent to Isabel Crowhurst: i.crowhurst@bbk.ac.uk by 1st March 2011. For more information, please visit: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/bisr/news/gatekeepers
