WELCOME MESSAGE
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the University of Leicester for the 2016 9th RC33 International Conference on Social Science Methodology. It is very exciting for us here to have so many members of the International Sociological Association and the RC33 visiting both the University and the City of Leicester. As you will see from the programme, we have around fifty academic sessions on offer covering a wide range of research methodologies and techniques. We also have expert workshops, keynote lectures and a PhD poster exhibition. I would also like to highlight our panel debate on ‘Big data, New skills’, sponsored and organised by SAGE, that is sure to generate lively discussion. The conference is housed within Stamford Court – and venue we are certain that you will like. Venturing beyond the University, the city of Leicester is rich in history, bursting with arts, culture, attractions, shopping and food and drink. Renowned for leading industry, ground-breaking technology as well as its creativity, cohesion and heritage. There is plenty to do, visit and see within the city and the county.
We hope you enjoy the conference and your time with us here in Leicester.
Professor John Goodwin On behalf of the local organising committee.

Their research includes: •Re-use/restudies/repurposing (Goodwin and O’Connor) •Paradata and marginalia (Goodwin and O’Connor) •Epistolary forms and biographical methods (Hughes and Goodwin) •Internet research methods (O’Connor and Hughes)
In the last three years Goodwin and Hughes have been commissioned by SAGE, and have produced six major edited works on aspects of research methods: •Biographical Methods (Goodwin) •Secondary Analysis (Goodwin) •Visual Methods (Hughes) •Internet Research Methods (Hughes) •Documentary and Archival Research (Hughes and Goodwin) •Contemporary Approaches to Ethnographic Research (Goodwin and Hughes).
The methodology strand also includes: •Agent-based modelling (Dr Edmund Chattoe-Brown) •Conversational analysis (Professor Ian Hutchby) •Strengths in relation to quantitative sociology (Dr Patrick White; Dr David Bartram)

PANEL DEBATE: BIG DATA, NEW SKILLS Big data, new skills: How will innovations in research methods and the new data environment impact teaching and research?
Bringing together a panel of academic experts, this event will call upon the panellists to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing research and teaching skills in this new world of big data analytics. In this age of Big Data, new paradigms will be needed not only for research methodology, but also for study design and interpretation, cross-disciplinary collaboration, data curation and dissemination, visualization, replication, and research ethics. This panel will explore the various ways in which teaching and research methods are being adapted and influenced by the vast number of new data sources and methodological innovations, as well as the changing demands of the field. •What impact will the changing data environment have on social research? •How are research methods changing because of these influences? •What developments are being seen in qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods teaching as a result? We will explore these topics as we come to debate what the research of the future will look like and what teaching and research skills will be needed to address it.
Panellist
Professor Henrietta O’Connor (University of Professor Nigel Fielding (University of Leicester) Surrey) Professor Barbara Kawulich (University of Dr Kingsley Purdam (The University of West Georgia) Manchester) Dr Mark Carrigan (University of Warwick) Dr Vera Toepoel (Utrecht University)

The panel will take place between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM on Tuesday the 13th of September in the main hall of the main RC33 2016 conference venue (Stamford Court, Oadby). The panel debate is only open to those attending the RC33 2016 9th International Conference on Social Science Methodology.
