Effective Qualitative Research

Qualitative researchers often try to do the same as quantitative research but with smaller samples. This interactive masterclass is relevant to PhD students and early career researchers and more experienced researchers who want to do qualitative research and to write it up rigorously and effectively. It provides guidance on how to use the latest constructionist approaches which treat our data as instances of complex behaviours and hence complementary to quantitative research.

Qualitative Research for Social Impact

Join Professor David Silverman for this online public lecture and Q&A. "Qualitative research is often regarded as the poor relation of quantitative research: less rigorous and less credible. By contrast, I suggest that qualitative researchers are more likely to convince policymakers and practitioners when they employ rigorous data analysis to study behavior using naturalistic data. Rather than compete with quantitative researchers, this means our work can be complementary to them, studying phenomena unavailable to quantitative methods."
