MethodSpace is a space to pursue a passion for inquiry.
Original posts, expert interviews, links to open access resources, and quarterly webinars offer readers insights into a specific focus area each month. Each month, SAGE authors share insights on their research and books as Mentors-in-Residence. Posts include discussion of the focus area in the context of conducting an inquiry, writing about research methods or findings, sharing results by publishing or presenting them, and teaching or supervising students. We are multidisciplinary, and welcome anyone with an interest in research methods, within or outside of academia.
