Methods of Human Rights Rsrch

Catalog description

The purpose of this advanced course is to examine critical methodologies as a basis to employ a critical analytic interdisciplinary framework in applied community research and evaluation. A critical analytic framework in research-including theory, methodologies, and praxis-incorporates a critique of macro- and micro-level inequalities based on the engagement of transformative discourses in the area of human rights. Emphasis will be placed on multi-level research, mixed-methods research, and community-based participatory research approaches: linking theory, method, and praxis; context in multi-, mixed-, and community-based participatory research methods; theoretical models in multi-, mixed-, and community-based participatory research methods; research design, data collection, and analysis in multi-, mixed, and community-based participatory research; and technologies in multi-, mixed-, and community-based participatory research. Offered: spring.
