Comprehensive Qualitative Research Methods

Catalog description

Introduces students to the process of conducting qualitative research. It approaches this goal by asking students to critically engage the ontological and epistemological assumptions underlying their research interests and efforts. Using an interpretive framework informed by intersectional and feminist epistemology, this class aims to get students to think critically about research design, implementation, and interpretation, with a particular focus on how the epistemological and ethical issues raised by the readings can play themselves out in research projects that focus on the experiences of marginalized communities.
