> For over 15 years staff at the Centre for Qualitative Research have been contributing to theoretical, philosophical, methodological and applied contributions to qualitative inquiry. Core research programmes focus on the Humanisation of Health and Social Care, Performative Social Science, and Novel and Innovative Qualitative Research Methodologies.
>
> We are proud to have achieved both national and international recognition for contributing to the field of qualitative health and social care research, and are known for hosting national and international conferences, presentations and workshops of world renowned scholars in this area.
>
> With the increasing specialisation of health and social care, it is important to offer scholarship and knowledge that emphasises 'insider views' of lives lived within their social, environmental and systemic contexts. As such, scholarship and knowledge produced by qualitative research approaches are particularly conducive to care that views health and illness as complex, grounded in the seamlessness of peoples everyday lives, and not easily reducible to simple diagnostic categories or discreet typologies. In addition to providing expertise in traditional qualitative research methodologies such as grounded theory, ethnography and narrative analysis, we are also pursuing novel and innovative methodologies that draw upon multiple influences and epistemologies from philosophy, the arts and the humanities.
>
> In this masterclass we will provide an introduction to qualitative research that will cover the following areas:
>
> * Overview and Rationale: Important foundations for qualitative research
> * Data Gathering: Participant observation, focus groups, biographic narrative interviewing, phenomenological interviewing and other ways of gathering data
> * Analysis and Interpretation of Qualitative Data: different roads to take with examples

> - ask the team both theoretical and practical questions
