Forskningsprocessen: kvalitativa metoder, dataanalys och akademiskt skrivande

Information från kursledaren

Dear students,

we look forward to engaging critically in discussions and practices around environmental governance with you!

This course includes a mandatory field trip with overnight stay for two nights scheduled to 7-9 May. The field trip is a great adventure and learning experience and has been much appreciated by students.

The majority of the cost for the field trip will be covered by the course.

Importantly, it will not be possible to compensate for a missed field trip with other course activities, therefore, make sure that you can participate in the field trip when signing up. Do not hesitate to reach out if you want to take the course but think you will have problems joining the field trip, and we can see if we together can figure out a solution, or if you have other questions: klara.fischer@slu.se

Looking forward to meeting you in the course, Klara, Christoffer and Alejandra
