Library Skills

Library skills - this is a series of lessons for MSSES's students and instructors. They are dedicated to developing the skills required for every researcher. In these classes, we discuss how to formulate a research topic, build and format a scientific text, how to handle library resources, including electronic databases, for the benefit of ourselves and our research.

Classes are taught by Polina Kolozaridi, a graduate of the Faculty of Sociology of Shaninki, Internet researcher, a lecturer at the National Research University Higher School of Economics and MSSES, and Konstantin Kokarev, lecturer and employee of the library of The Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration.

Research & Write Workshop

The seminar is dedicated to the life, pain and joy of researchers and their research. At the seminar meetings, we propose to discuss how research works, why and how scientific texts are written, what role theories and methods play, where conflicts are in modern scientific worlds and how they are resolved. We invite both Shaninka residents and researchers from other institutions to the seminar.
 
Why are these topics important?
First, research approaches are different, and when we are inside one of them, it is important to check our boundaries, reflect and clarify what we are doing. This can be done alone with oneself, or it is possible and worth, we believe, to discuss with other people. Without such reflection, it is difficult to understand why we are doing research at all and are learning this, who needs our results, how the form of the research process is related to content. And who are “we”, do the researchers generally belong to the same group, what unites them/us?
Secondly, it only seems that all studies are similar, understandable and equal. As a student, we see that there are conflicts, divergencies, and incomparable approaches. But we hardly ever discuss this in any format. Rarely are such questions brought into the genre of methodical reflection and articles are written about them. In order to navigate some problems and issues before they turn into the “sore” format, we propose to discuss them now.
