From July 22-24, 2025, the School of Cities will host its third annual workshop on urban mixed methods. The multi-day workshop gathers a diverse group of talented doctoral students to explore innovative research methodologies that engage with the theme of urbanism and cities. Participants take part in discussions, refine their research designs, and build networks across disciplines, while urban faculty present lightning talks on research projects illustrating cutting-edge methods for qualitative and quantitative research design, data collection, analysis, interpretation and visualization.
PhD candidates from all disciplines are invited to apply from across Canada and globally. Travel and accommodation expenses are paid for those who are selected.
Applications closed in March 2025. We thank everyone for their interest.
