Critical realist informed social science research, by Professor Emeritus, Berth Danermark.

Professor Danermark was at Örebro University in Sweden, at the Swedish Institute for Disability Research. He attained his PhD from the University of Uppsala in 1986, titled: Class, income and Housing. He has published prolifically in Swedish and English on various facets of disability, method, interdisciplinary research and inter-professional collaboration, and on subjects as diverse as housing policy, drug use, class, social inclusion, representation in education and climate change. He has co-authored ‘Interdisciplinarity and Well Being: A Critical Realist General Theory of Interdisciplinarity'. (routledge.com) (Bhaskar, Danermark, and Price 2018).
Also ‘Explaining Society: Critical Realism in the Social Sciences’ (Danermark et al. 2019). An amazingly accessible book on basic critical realist ideas and the go-to book for early career researchers.
Professor Danermark is no stranger to supporting CR Networks as he was a member Nordic Network for Critical Realism, in the 1990s, and arranged the first non-UK IACR conference in Sweden in 1999. This presentation provides a critical realist grounding of how and why CR can provide a scaffold for applied social research. This presentation happily complements the thought and content of Explaining Society.
