Qualitative researchers often try to do the same as quantitative research but with smaller samples. This interactive masterclass is relevant to PhD students and early career researchers and more experienced researchers who want to do qualitative research and to write it up rigorously and effectively. It provides guidance on how to use the latest constructionist approaches which treat our data as instances of complex behaviours and hence complementary to quantitative research.
This Masterclass was open to a limited number of spaces across the University. This masterclass offers lectures and data workshops covering the latest approaches to key areas of qualitative research:
• Improving the quality of interview data analysis. Treating respondents’ accounts as skillful versions of reality. Attending to the step-by-step production of meaning between interviewer and interviewee.
• Documents and digital data as social constructions. How to avoid treating them as ‘secondary data’. Tracing the narratives, they construct.
• Credible qualitative research. Threats to credibility and how to make your research credible.
• Mixed methods. Mixing qual and quant data. Using multiple qualitative methods. Advantages and limitations. The workshop will consist of 4.5 hours of lectures, 3 data workshops.
Masterclass contains:
Introductory lecture
Lecture 1 Analysing interview data
Data sessions in small groups
