Comments

The course is designed to deepen existing initial knowledge of qualitative methods in sociological research. After a short introduction to the history, theory and epistemology of qualitative methods the course will focus on the practical experience with some selected approaches. Central issues the seminar addresses are on the one hand the planning, conducting and analyzing of interviews and on the other hand discourse analysis with a special focus on social media discourses. Issues of research design, data collection and data analysis will be introduced, discussed and practically applied for practice purposes. Focusing on two of the most established procedures in qualitative research will allow for a detailed look at empirical studies and how they are conducted as well as for actual work on empirical material either I will bring to the course or the participants will produce themselves during the course. Accordingly, this course aims to be interactive and it requires active ‘hands-on’ participation in a series of practical exercises throughout the term.
Although it is desirable that participating students have basic knowledge of qualitative methods, it is not a precondition for participation. close
