Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This compact course, held entirely in English, familiarizes doctoral students with a range of theoretical and practical issues in contemporary interpretive practice.Throughout the semester, we will discuss various aspects of qualitative research, such as the history and ethics of interpretive work; variations of interviewing (including go-alongs); key characteristics of ethnographic observation; the rise of visual, participatory, and alternative qualitative methods; and well as interpretive data analysis and writing. The main goal of the course is to provide hands-on training and introductory experience in a variety of interpretive research methods.
