OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Contrasting decolonial and traditional methods in researching coloniality and history education’
In this Qual Methods Hub, current (Zaiba Patel) and former (Abigial Branford) DPhil students discuss their doctoral methods in history education, both exploring teaching and learning about the British Empire.
Zaiba’s research focuses on decolonising pedagogies in the school history curriculum. She completed her transfer of status and is moving on to the research phase of her project. She will reflect on her process so far, what decolonial research methods may entail, and the ethical issues that have arisen surrounding participant anonymity.
Abigail explored how secondary school students in England learned about and perceived the British Empire. She will discuss her mixed methods design including classroom observations, surveys, focus groups, and interviews (and offer some cautionary tales about juggling too many research methods!) This range of methods provides fodder for a conversation about what each method contributed to the overall research project and some of their drawbacks.
