Realities, part of the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods
Based in the Morgan Centre for the Study of Relationships and Personal Life

Realities aims to develop methods and approaches that capture the combination of vital, tangible and intangible dynamics in the way that personal relationships and relationalities are lived. Methodological creativity is central to our work, but we also value and draw on long-established methodological traditions. We describe our approach as "qualitatively-driven" - it starts from what we see as some of the best principles of qualitative research, but moves beyond these to engage both qualitatively and quantitatively with the complex realities of everyday lives.

Real Life Methods is part of the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods. Our aim was to investigate new research methods that aim to grasp the multidimensionality of 'real lives'. Our research programme was made up of four projects, each using a range of different research methods.
