CARR is an interdisciplinary group of social scientists involved in research in organisational, political and legal aspects of risk and regulation. We are organising a Fourth Conference for research students whose intended or current research focuses on a topic related to CARR's agenda.
We would welcome both expressions of interest in attending the conference and proposals for papers to be considered for presentation.
In addition to students' presentations, the Conference will include keynote speeches and a series of 'Master Classes,' led by members of CARR. The aim of the 'Master Classes' is to explore in detail conceptual and methodological issues in researching risk and regulation.
We encourage students in all phases of their PhD research to present their 'work in progress' including conceptual issues and problems, empirical findings, methodological issues or research strategies. This is not intended to be a conference featuring completed research; rather it will be a forum for constructive discussion and debate between research students, and a contribution to the progress of their research.
Discretionary bursaries may be available towards travel and accommodation for those presenting.
