This course provides a hands-on introduction to the use of qualitative research methods. We will examine data collection and data analysis techniques that are employed in qualitative research. Data collection methods will include: informal and semi-structured interviewing, direct observation, free lists, and focus groups. We will also cover the management and analysis of these data. Throughout the course, students will be asked to consider the advantages and disadvantages associated with each method and to consider alternate methods of data collection and analysis. The format is varied and will include lectures, discussion, group work, class presentations, and practical experience with the methods.
