DESCRIPTION:Please note this event is only open to Early Career Researche
 rs (PhDs\, Research Associates etc.) at The University of Manchester.\n\
 nA joint Sustainable Consumption Institute and Sustainable Futures event
  aimed at ECR scholars interested in creative qualitative methods.\n\nIt
  seeks to provide a platform for alternative and innovative approaches t
 o studying some of the ‘wicked problems of the Anthropocene’ (Sardar\, 2
 010). Such problems not only require interdisciplinary approaches to und
 erstand and tackle them but also non-traditional methods to fully grasp 
 them. Yet all too often such innovative and creative methods get overloo
 ked in favour of standard qualitative methods\, such as interviewing and
  focus groups. Reasons for this include concerns regarding rigour and va
 lidity. However\, as other studies have illustrated (e.g.\, Holmes and H
 all\, 2021\; Back and Puwar\, 2010) such methods can enable fuller\, ric
 her and more indepth data\, particularly when combined with traditional 
 approaches.\n\nThis workshop will provide academics with an opportunity 
 to hear about and try some of the most recent methodological development
 s for thinking about and researching issues of environmental sustainabil
 ity – including practical sessions on photo elicitation\, creative writi
 ng\, playing with materials such as clay\, and even stitching!\n\nReserv
