Summer School - The Art and Science of Qualitative Analysis, 2022, The Università della Svizzera italiana, Switzerland

Publish Date: Apr 10, 2022

Deadline: Jul 15, 2022

Event Dates: from Aug 22, 2022 12:00 to Aug 26, 2022 12:00

The aim of this workshop is to examine different aspects of non-numeric data analysis techniques, including: variations, possibilities, and limits of qualitative data analysis; assumptions and biases in qualitative research; data preparation for qualitative analysis; analysis of different types of non-numeric data (including interview transcripts, documents, newspaper and social media, diaries, non-financial reports, and focus group data). The analysis part of the workshop will mainly cover qualitative content and thematic analyses, but we will also touch on the role of qualitative research in case studies, grounded theory, transdisciplinary research, and within a mixed methods research design. Finally, we will recommend presentation and publication strategies for qualitative researchers.
Throughout the week, daily exercises on how to prepare and analyze non-numeric data will be an important part of the course. The participants are invited to work on their own data during the course.

Prerequisites
A background in the social sciences or related fields, and preparatory readings are recommended.

Course leader
Max Bergman is Chair of Social Research and Methodology at the University of Basel, Switzerland. His main research focus is on sustainable business-society relations.

Target group
Everyone who is interested; there are no formal requirement. Note that many workshops have some prerequisites.
The Summer School workshops are conceived for those who need to deepen and widen their methodological knowledge and skills for their work, research projects and (PhD) theses: students, junior and senior researchers, practitioners from academia and outside academia at any stage of their careers whenever the need for further training in methodology arises.

Course aim
This introductory course will teach participants when, how, and why to integrate a qualitative and a quantitative research component within one research design.

Credits info
The Summer School cannot grant credits. We only deliver a Certificate of attendance, i.e. we certify your presence.

If you consider using Summer School workshops to obtain credits (ECTS), you will have to investigate at your home institution (contact the person/institute responsible for your degree) to find out whether they recognize the Summer School, how many credits can be earned from a workshop/course with roughly 35 hours of teaching, no graded work, and no exams.
