Join us for this panel event to talk about Realist PhD vivas, recorded on the 7th July 2021. We have a panel of 3 realist researchers who used realist methods in their PhDs, and we welcome back Dr Andrew Booth who will share his experience as a PhD examiner. There will be short presentations on the panel’s viva experiences, followed by a Question and Answer session.
