Moulding Methods, an initiative at the Office of Interdisciplinary Studies (IDEAS)
at O.P Jindal Global University, is a platform for critical reflection and dialogue on research methodologies and
how they shape social and political enquiries in social sciences. It aims to disentangle
methods from the text and foreground their centrality and their bearing on knowledge
production. Our attempt is to examine the process of fieldwork, a combination of bodily,
emotional, and sensory labour of the researcher, and how that constitutes a foundation
for the production of written texts. Over this year, we have brought together a diverse
cohort of scholars, in the form of Ethnographic Method Series, Online Webinar Series and
Research Methodologies workshop, to share their methodological journeys and reflect on
the anxieties of their fieldwork.
This series will evolve as a think tank for methodological innovation, empowering researchers to question, adapt, and mold methods that meet the complexities of contemporary research challenges. Through its inclusive and interactive format, "Moulding Methods" envisions building a community where scholars not only exchange knowledge but also co-create pathways for methodological advancements.
Sessions dedicated to fostering collaborations and community building.
Inspirational talks by leading scholars sharing their personal methodological journeys and insights.
Platforms for researchers to present their thesis work or ongoing research methodologies.
Hands-on sessions offering practical training in new or innovative research techniques.
Expert-led panels analyzing specific methodological approaches, challenges, and trends.
Small-group conversations focusing on niche methodological topics or emerging debates.
We are seeking volunteers who are interested in supporting the impactful grassroots work carried out by these initiatives.
