Dr Aliya Rao & Dr Chana Teeger

The purpose of this course is to equip participants with the skills to be able to sensitively and critically design, carry out, report, read, and evaluate qualitative research projects, focussing on in-depth interviews and participant observation.

It is taught by qualitative research experts who have experience of using the methods they teach. It covers the full cycle of a field-based qualitative research project: from design, to data collection, analysis, reporting and dissemination.

The course has the dual aims of equipping students with conceptual understandings of current academic debates regarding methods, and the practical skills to put those methods into practice.
