This unit introduces students to qualitative research methods in sociology. Approaches covered will be selected from a range including, but not necessarily limited to: ethnography, life history analysis, interviewing, focus groups, document analysis, action research, content and discourse analysis, and visual analysis. Questions of research ethics and validity and reliability will also be addressed. Students who successfully complete the unit should be sufficiently familiar with the various approaches to be able to match appropriate method(s) to particular research contexts. |
