Academic Year 2024/2025
This is a course in approaches and methodologies in qualitative research. It considers the practical issues of how a student might move from the formulation of a research question to an articulation of their ontological and epistemological position to choosing an appropriate methodology and research methods. The course argues for a question-led approach to research: that is, the framing of a research question or problem should precede and point towards an appropriate methodological framework, rather than a method seeking a research question. A variety of research methods, data sources and methods of data analysis are explored. The module is geared towards students who wish to acquire knowledge of, and/or who intend to use, ‘qualitative’ methods in the broadest sense.
