Week 10: Easter Break
Week 11: Understanding Livelihoods: research methodologies and participation
This week we will examine some recent approaches and field-based research
methodologies which might help to provide a more accurate picture of rural livelihoods.
We will consider, in particular, the advantages and problems of participatory rural
appraisal (PRA) methods?
