The Critical Realism Study Group (CRSG) is a welcoming and intellectually engaging space for postgraduate taught and research students who are interested in learning more about critical realism. CRSG offers an opportunity to explore key concepts, discuss relevant readings and reflect together on how critical realism can inform research design, methodology and theoretical framing, including in the context of dissertations and theses. We hold regular meetings during semesters 1 and 2, providing a space for peer-led discussion, questions and idea-sharing across disciplines. Details of upcoming sessions will be shared in advance via this webpage and through relevant channels.
