The Work, Interaction and Technology Research Centre (WIT) at King’s College London is running an Advanced Summer Institute on video-based research methods.
The course, entitled, ‘Video in Qualitative Research: Analysing Organisations and Social Interactions’ will be held from Monday 18th June to Tuesday 19th June 2012.
The application deadline is Wednesday 18th April 2012.
Course Outline:
Digital Video provides unprecedented opportunities for social science research, enabling the fine‐grained analysis of social organization, culture and communication. This two‐day course provides practical guidance for social researchers, corporate ethnographers
and others interested in the use of video to analyse social interaction. It will provide insights on:
(i) how to collect data using digital video
(ii) how to subject video recordings to detailed scrutiny and analysis
(iii) how to present insights, observations and findings in presentation and publications
The course tutors are Prof. Christian Heath, Prof. Paul Luff, Prof. Jon Hindmarsh and Dr. Dirk Vom Lehn from WIT.
The course will be structured around 'data sessions', in which participants will collaboratively discuss and analyse video data. All course tutors have extensive experience of video based research and have recently published a key text on the subject. A free
copy of the book will be given to all participants.
Full fees: £320
Bursaries: Some bursary funds are available for PhD students based in UK universities to offset cost of tuition and will be divided among applicants who have been unable to obtain funding elsewhere.
