In this episode of the Methods podcast, host Catherine McDonald talks to Laura Camfield, Professor of Development Research and Evaluation in the School of International Development at the University of East Anglia.
Laura discusses cross-country comparisons, the importance of theory in relation to mixed methods work and gives her advice around what can and can’t be compared. She also talks about the ethical challenges around presenting project work in regard to recognising younger researchers and other members of the team.
The series of the Methods podcast is produced by the National Centre for Research Methods as part of the EU Horizon2020 funded YouthLife project, and is looking at how researchers can do better longitudinal research on youth transitions.
