This research seminar is designed for provided for both UM graduate students in diverse disciplines who are interested in learning about multi-method research techniques, and for visiting scholars ("IFRI trainees") who are interested in participating in research related to the International Forestry Resources and Institutions (IFRI) research program.  Although there are times when the requirements of the two groups do not exactly coincide, we find that the combination produces a very positive learning environment for everyone who participates.
