Qualitative Analysis: Interviewing and Mixed Methods Approaches

Catalog description

This course is designed for students who are willing to engage in focused, hands-on training for in-depth interviewing and mixed methods research to answer critical public health questions. It aims to provide a detailed "how to" of in-depth interviewing as a standalone or mixed methods approach. During this process, you will examine the epistemological, theoretical, and practical application of qualitative methods and learn how to carry out an independent interview study, including data collection and analysis. Students will share experiences, transcripts, and constructive criticism as they embark their field work. Through readings and discussions, the class will critically examine a number of aspects and approaches to doing, analyzing, and disseminating in-depth interview and mixed methods research.
