Abstract: A Methods Café is an opportunity for scholars at all levels to discuss research methods, particularly interpretivist and critical methods. There are no scheduled presentations, no list of speakers; instead, it is an informal setting - a ‘cafe’ with multiple tables, refreshments, and a causal atmosphere that allows for one-on-one and group discussions, networking, and support. Café tables on different themes will be hosted by specialists in given research methods and related topics, such as historical and archival approaches to research, ethnography, spatial and visual methods, discourse analysis, data visualization, genealogy, affect, and more. While researchers doing work in all subfields and on all topics are welcome, all tables will include participants interested in using those methods to study race, gender, Indigeneity, and migration as key topics. This year’s café will also host a “repair shop” where researchers who are working through a challenging part of a research project or have gotten ‘stuck’ can get feedback and suggestions for how to move forward. No question is too ‘basic,’ and senior, mid-career, and junior scholars can all explore new methods, share their experience, and continue to build their methodological knowledge.
