ESDS Qualidata workshop: data resources for teaching qualitative methods
Date: 21 April 2008
Location: UK Data Archive
On 21 April 2008, ESDS Qualidata will be holding a workshop on data
resources for teaching qualitative methods. ESDS Qualidata has recently
completed an online teaching resource, which has been specifically
designed to assist in qualitative methods teaching, with a focus on
distinguishing different types of interviewing. The resource offers
summaries of seven distinct interview types: structured, unstructured,
semi-structured, feminist, psycho-social, oral history and life story
interviews. Each interview typology begins with a summary of what
characterises that particular type of interview and is illustrated and
exemplified by selected extracts from some of the most interesting and
important studies held in the UK Data Archive. It also includes a number
of activities which could be used as class-room exercises.
This workshop aims to introduce this resource and demonstrate its
potential uses as a reference point for students and a teaching tool for
tutors. It is aimed primarily at methods teachers, but it would be
useful for any social science student with an interest in qualitative
methods.
This workshop, to be held in the seminar room of the SSRC building at
the University of Essex, is free but as places are limited booking is
essential.
