Methods Café

Hello and welcome to the Methods Café, a podcast series focusing on socio-legal research, brought to you by researchers at Swansea University, plus guests.In S2E3 Sara interviews four PhD researchers at various stages of their respective research programmes at Swansea University.Connor Rees graduated from Swansea’s MA in Cybercrime and Terrorism and went on to secure and EPSRC funded PhD scholarship, at the intersection of criminology and computer science. He is coming towards the end of his doctoral research project, which focuses on the ways in which extreme right groups use images in a manner which avoids their being taken down by tech companies.Florence King is another graduate from the MA in Cybercrime and Terrorism who is about to start a PhD looking at gender-based online harms experienced by women with public-facing profiles and the extent to which current law and legislative proposals adequately address these harms. First, she will complete a MSc in Social Research Methods, which is the first step of her 1+3 ESRC funded PhD studentship (on the Empirical Studies in Law pathway).Genevieve Clifford graduated from the MSc Computer Science from Swansea University and went on to be awarded a 1+3 ESRC PhD studentship (through the Digital Economy and Society pathway), to research how tech can be used in communities, to aid skills and community development. Her project has a particular focus on pervasive display networks. Having started in the same cohort as Florence, she is also undertaking the MSc in Social Research Methods, before moving onto the doctoral research element of her programme.Ninian Frenguelli is the holder of an ESRC collaborative PhD studentship and is a few years into a project which explores the role of gender within online far right communities. Ninian’s project is focused on mapping relationships between far-right websites and how narratives around gender differ across different segments of the online far right. As such, his analysis combines hyperlink network analysis of far-right websites with qualitative content analysis of the mixed media posted on far right websites, as it relates to gender.For the latest opportunities to do a funded PhD at Swansea University, please visit the PGR funding page here:  https://www.swansea.ac.uk/postgraduate/scholarships/research/ The intro music is the track Last Bar Guests - Remastered by Lobo Loco (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)This podcast is distributed under the following Creative Commons license: Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0).
