<h3>About </h3>
<p>
The Exploding Methodology Symposium was an event that took place on September 20th, 2007.  It was held at Goldsmiths University in London, UK.  The event enabled researchers and scholars to submit papers dealing with a variety of methodological issues, mostly in the field of sociology.  The papers were then presented to small groups by another indivvidual who had read the paper.
</p>
<h3> 
Topics
</h3>
<p>
Many topics were discussed such as alternative sources of data, working with alternative methods in structures that discourage the use of such methods, challenges facing researchers, responsibilities to informants, and much more.  In order to enable further discussion of issues raised at the conference, a forum has been started on this site: Exploding Methodology Forum.
</p>
<h3> 
Papers</h3>
<p>
The participants were divided into &quot;streams&quot; with six participants in each group.  The papers presented are attached.
