DESCRIPTION:Homelessness is a major social problem in the UK\, and Oxford 
 has a long-standing history of high levels of homelessness. In this semina
 r we will share our experiences in conducting an ongoing qualitative resea
 rch project exploring homelessness in the city of Oxford. The term ‘home
 less’ is used to describe three overlapping groups (rough sleepers\, the
  statutory homeless\, and the hidden homeless)\, yet existing research typ
 ically focuses on the groups in isolation. The current project seeks to be
  the first systematic attempt to explore people’s movements between home
 less experiences to capture the full spectrum of homelessness.\nIn this se
 minar we share our learning to provide an honest account of the process of
  conducting a qualitative research project\, beyond what is generally cove
 red in textbooks and journal articles. Particular emphasis will be placed 
 on the process of undertaking sensitive research with this hard-to-reach g
 roup. The seminar will cover all aspects of fieldwork\, from study design\
 , preparing a successful ethics application\, project management\, samplin
 g and recruitment\, the interview process\, data management\, transcriptio
 n and navigating ethical issues that arise during fieldwork. We will also 
 reflect upon some of the challenges we encountered in this project and how
  these were resolved. \n\nSpeakers:\nDr Elisabeth Garratt (University of O
 xford)\, Dr Jan Flaherty (University of Oxford)
