Qualitative Methods in Sociology: How to Organize and Conduct Your Own Research 

Preparation of your own research project (writing a master's thesis, article or PhD thesis) often involves author's research. This seminar will enable you to learn about different qualitative methods, about their advantages and disadvantages, and what kind of information you can gain from using them. We will talk about all stages of research - from writing the research design to analysing the results and presenting them. The main topics for discussion in the seminar will be the ethics of qualitative research and the documentary process of research. We will focus on research methods such as observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and visual methods and their capabilities. And we will also talk about the basic methods of analysing data collected through qualitative methods. The aim of this seminar is to provide a general introduction to the whole range of qualitative methods, which will help you to decide which methods are useful and relevant to your research project.
