In expert corner for this episode is Dr Kahryn Hughes, from University of Leeds. Dr Hughes is Director of the Timescapes Archive, Editor in Chief of Sociological Research Online, Convenor of the MA Qualitative Research Methods and a Senior Fellow for the NCRM. In researcher ranch is Dr Sarah Campbell, Senior Lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University. Dr Campbell has worked on various projects funded through a range of different funders from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), to local funders such as NHS Salford CCG – the underlying theme being to explore ways to understand the lived experiences of dementia and ageing, and explore ways to improve social care and their lives.

Methods Matter – from Dementia Researcher and the National Centre for Research Methods – is 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 second series, Clinical Research Fellow Dr Donncha Mullin from the University of Edinburgh brings together leading experts in research methodology, and the 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. In this season, the podcast covers oral histories and story telling, grounded theory, visual and creative methods, focus groups and surveys and questionnaires.
