Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this exercise, students will develop an overview of the most common challenges and methodological approaches of qualitative social research, and how to deal with their practical implications. In addition to a methodical toolkit (sampling, access, data collection and evaluation), theoretical and ethical challenges that we encounter in practical research are reflexively addressed. Based on examples of concrete application in research teams, the critical handling of one's own possibilities and qualities will be tested, and participants sensitized for their practices of interaction.
