Faculty of Law Organises Workshop on Research Methodology

The Faculty of Law, Aligarh Muslim University, organised a one-day workshop on “Research Methodology,” bringing together scholars and students for an in-depth engagement with the principles and practices of academic research.

The workshop featured Prof. Mirza Asmer Beg, former Dean, Faculty of Social Sciences, AMU, as the keynote speaker, and Prof. Mohammad Naved Khan, Dean, Faculty of Management Studies, AMU, as the guest speaker.

Welcoming the participants, Prof. Shakeel Ahmed, Dean, Faculty of Law, outlined the objectives of the workshop, stating that it aimed to help scholars adopt a comprehensive and disciplined approach to research, ensuring both academic rigor and quality.

Prof. Mirza Asmer Beg emphasised that meaningful research demands extensive reading, clarity of research questions, and a systematic methodology. He underscored the importance of evidence-based writing free from personal bias and highlighted the relevance of qualitative research supported by empirical data within a mixed-method framework.

Prof. Mohammad Naved Khan focused on the practical dimensions of research, sharing insights from his experience and outlining essential steps for scholars—from identifying a broad area of interest to publishing in reputed indexed journals. He encouraged researchers to explore globally relevant yet underexplored themes and pursue independent academic inquiry.

In his concluding remarks, Prof. Mohd. Wasim Ali stressed the need to address emerging social issues through research. Dr. Tabassum Chaudhary, Organising Secretary, presented the workshop objectives and delivered the vote of thanks.

The programme was attended by faculty members, students, and office-bearers, and was also broadcast online for AMU’s off-campus centres at Murshidabad and Malappuram.
