There should be a distinction made between 'methodology' and 'method' - which is probably easier to make for qualitative approaches. I would say that methodology refers to the engagement with particular epistemological/theoretical positions that will inform how you analyse your data.

Method refers to the way in which you collect the data - so perhaps experiments, interviews, surveys etc.

So my chosen method of data collection might be interviews but I can analyse that data in very different ways depending on my methodological approach  (e.g. foucauldian discourse analysis, conversation analysis, thematic analysis etc...)

Hello all,

I just wondered as the ESRC Quota application deadline has passed (July 15th), has anyone received their confirmation of funding yet?

Thanks!
