Do Better Research S2 E2: Lessons Learned in Contract Research Through Autoethnography

In this episode, I get the chance to interview Dr Will Thomas (https://willt486.github.io/), Associate Professor of the Suffolk Business School (https://www.uos.ac.uk/content/suffolk-business-school), about  his reflections on contract research through the methodology of autoethnography. We talk about the process of autoethnography, including what it is and how to do it. We also talk about his experience of contract research, and lessons learned.  You can read Will & Mirjam's research in: Thomas & Southwell (2017) ‘Hate the Results? Blame the Methods: An Autoethnography of Contract Research’ in Vine, Clark, Richards & Weir (eds.)
