The Methods Matter Podcast - from Dementia Researcher & the National Centre for Research Methods. A podcast for people who don't know much about methods...those who do, and those who just want to find news and clever ways to use them in their research.
In this first series PhD Student Leah Fullegar from the University of Southampton brings together leading experts in research methodology, and dementia researchers that use them, to provide a fun introduction to five qualitive research methods in a safe space where there are no such things as dumb questions!
Episode Three - Social Network Analysis
To go with the podcast we had a great artist called Jack Brougham provide an amazing visual guide to this method - Download our free visual how-to guide poster here - https://bit.ly/2ZenYA3

In researcher ranch – Dr Anne-Nicole Casey, Qualitative Research Associate from the University of New South Wales within the Dementia Collaborative Research Centre (DCRC) and Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA).
