Qualitative Methods (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Tobias Lenz, Natascha Zaun

Inhalt: This module introduces students to a variety of qualitative methods and seeks to encourage their reflective usage and application. After introducing students to the epistemological and methodological differences between qualitative and quantitative methods and the basic rationales for doing each, the course will start with formulating research questions amenable to using qualitative research methods. Subsequently, the course focuses on acquainting students with a core set of qualitative research methods as well as associated designs. Topics covered include single and comparative case studies, (Baysian) process-tracing, ethnography and participant observation, content and discourse analysis as well as interviewing. The course finishes with a concrete application of a selected research method. The course addresses issues not only of methodological foundations and research praxis, but also of ethics and research transparency.
