Folks at the University of Kent have put together a great online resource for Research Methods for the Study of Religion.

‘Research Methods for the Study of Religion’ is an on-line resource, cov­er­ing a wide range of key top­ics in this field, from research design, and the pol­i­tics and ethics of research, to issues in the use of var­i­ous quan­ti­ta­tive and qual­i­ta­tive meth­ods. Developed from the expe­ri­ence of an inten­sive train­ing work­shop for doc­toral stu­dents run in con­junc­tion with the AHRC/ESRC Religion and Society pro­gramme, the con­tent on the site includes dis­cus­sion papers, exer­cises, bib­li­ogra­phies, dis­cus­sion ques­tions and links to other rel­e­vant on-line mate­r­ial. We hope that the site will meet the need both of indi­vid­ual researchers look­ing for resources on par­tic­u­larly method­olog­i­cal issues, and lec­tur­ers want­ing source mate­r­ial to use in teach­ing meth­ods courses.
