This module provides an overview of research methods used in Irish Studies. For Irish Studies single honours students, it creates a bridge between the case study research of IRS102 Field Trip to Ireland and IRIS310 / IRIS400 third year dissertation in Irish Studies.
The module provides an opportunity for students to work with a range of staff in Irish Studies on a theme within their research area. Each theme will engage the student in writing up a short report that can map onto learning how to do more sustained research projects in third year.
