SUMMARY:Qualitative Methods for Understanding Diverse Lives
DESCRIPTION:In this one-day online training workshop you will be introduced to four qualitative research methods to better understand diverse lives – Photo Go-Alongs\, Collage\, Life History Interviews and Participant Packs. When researching social groups\, researchers may focus on categories such as age\, gender\, sexuality and so on. These categories can turn catch-all terms into catch-all agendas. \nTreating groups of people with one shared characteristic as homogenous risks a cookie-cutter approach which overlooks diverse lives and needs. Given the complexity of what it means to be a person\, a one-size fits all approach to engagement cannot suffice. The methods introduced in this training workshop are beneficial in exploring diverse lives and can be used when researching with any group. \nThe session is aimed at PhD students and academics of all career stages across the UK who want to better understand: \n\nThe specific place-based needs of people\nThe everyday practices of people\nThe world from participants’ perspectives\nHow to work with people in an inclusive and accessible way\n\nThis online training workshop will be structured as follows:   \n\nIntroductions\nOrigins and Approach\nMethods deep dive:\nPhoto Go-Alongs\nParticipant packs\nCollage\nLife Histories\nWorkshops\nLearnings and close\n\nBy the end of the course participants will: \n\nBe able to think critically about how creative\, participatory methods might be incorporated into their research and/ or teaching.\nHave broadened their understanding of research methods from tools of data collection to techniques for capacity building.\nHave workshopped four qualitative methods for creatively engaging with people (Photo Go-Alongs\, Collage\, Life Histories and Participant packs).\n\nThis online training workshop will take place over the course of 1 day on Wednesday 11th March 2026 between 10:00 and 16:00\, with 1 hour for lunch between 12:30 and 13:30. \nCost: \nThe fee per teaching day is: £60 per day for registered students. £150 per day for staff at academic institutions\, Research Councils researchers\, public sector staff\, staff at registered charity organisations and recognised research institutions. £350 per day for all other participants. \nIn the event of cancellation by the delegate a full refund of the course fee is available up to two weeks prior to the course. No refunds are available after this date. \nIf it is no longer possible to run a course due to circumstances beyond its control\, NCRM reserves the right to cancel the course at its sole discretion at any time prior to the event. In this event every effort will be made to reschedule the course. If this is not possible or the new date is inconvenient a full refund of the course fee will be given. NCRM shall not be liable for any costs\, losses or expenses that may be incurred as a result of the cancellation of a course. \nThe University of Southampton’s Online Store T&Cs also continue to apply. \nRegister to Attend

SUMMARY:Catchup - Research Showcase - APOE Genotype & Dementia
DESCRIPTION:Why do some people with genetic risk go on to experience cognitive decline while others remain resilient. How does genetic vulnerability shape pathways to later life cognitive impairment and dementia. \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods\, and ideas. \nIn this session\, Dr Donald Lyall\, Senior Lecturer in Population Brain Health at the University of Glasgow\, will present research on the role of APOE genotype in later life cognitive impairment and dementia. Donald’s work uses population health and epidemiological approaches to understand how genetic risk interacts with lifestyle and environmental factors to influence brain health and cognitive outcomes. He has extensive experience analysing large cohort datasets to uncover mediators and modifiers of cognitive decline\, with a particular focus on how APOE affects vulnerability in ageing populations. \nDonald will explore whether possession of specific APOE variants increases susceptibility to cognitive impairment\, and what intermediate phenotypes may mediate these associations\, shedding light on mechanisms that link genetic risk with cognitive health outcomes. \nAttendees can expect a clear and research focused talk followed by time for questions and discussion. \n\n\n\n\nWatch the Recording
