My research interests are on the sociology of war and conflict; rather the sociological effects of short and long term armed conflict on a given society.  My overall purpose for attending university is to pursue a career in Social Research.

As for this particular module it will be an opportunity to experience what social research is actually about and to find out if my notion of research is correct. Also it will be a good taster to see if indeed a career in research is for me.

I'm not sure what will be challenging at this stage, but I am sure in the forthcoming sessions this will become more evident.
