Methodological rigor is of vital importance for the success of an qualitative research project. Research question, methodological approach of data collection and strategies of (verbal) data analysis have to be well matched in order to ensure a compelling overall research process. The workshop aims at providing the opportunity to discuss these issues critically in the light of the participant’s own dissertation projects. It addresses Ph.D. students who seek further clarification for their methodological rationale in their qualitative study regarding sampling procedure, interview techniques, approaches for data analysis and others. Thus, we will not debate on general issues of methodological importance, but focus on the methodologically demanding topics the participants are facing within their own qualitative study.
Participants are kindly asked to submit a research abstract no later than two weeks before the beginning of the workshop to Anna Brake.
