PGR Masterclass Registration Form

‘Asking Better Research Questions’ - Professor Sundhya Pahuja

1st November 2022 2.30-5.30pm

Room S2.09, Law School Building


In preparation for the masterclass, you will need to:

  1. Send a 500 word summary of your thesis proposal/research project to Sundhya (sp2124@cam.ac.uk) and Daniel Matthews (Daniel.matthews@warwick.ac.uk) by 5.00pm Monday 17 October.
  2. Read Sundhya’s chapter, ‘Practical Methodology: Writing About How We Do Research’ in Research Methods in International Law: A Handbook (Edward Elgar, 2021), pp. 60-77. A copy is attached to this email.
  3. Before the meeting, have a go at re-writing your 500 word summary using the structure suggested in Sundhya’s chapter and bring your notes to our meeting. The suggested structure is:
  • Question
  • Object
  • Concrete methods
  • Theoretical orientation
  • Significance

During the masterclass Sundhya will endeavour to engage with as many of the thesis summaries as possible, but the practical workshopping of this work will be of use even if your proposal does not end up being discussed. If you would particularly like your proposal to be workshopped, let us know and we will try to prioritise it.
