Seminar 04 The Use and Abuse of Comparative Research in the Arts and Cultural Sectors 5 July 2002, Royal Society of Edinburgh Scotland Foundation, Edinburgh This seminar will explore what we have learned from past research about when and how to embark on comparative studies. It will consider the motivation for comparative studies and the different methodologies that can be used in making comparisons whether between countries, or different regions of a country, or between sectors. The seminar will ask two fundamental questions: why are we so interested in making comparisons in the cultural sector? and what can commissioners of research and researchers themselves do to ensure that the results are meaningful and therefore useful?
