Qualitative Research Methods II

3 Units

This course guides the methodological conduct of the qualitative research project that was proposed by the student in DBAP 638 . Fieldwork and initial analysis are conducted during the summer when data based on semi-structure interviews or found in archival unstructured data is collected and analysis begins using inductive coding techniques. A summer residency is held in mid-June to assess progress as final data collection and analysis continues. The aim of the fall semester is to prepare a formal research report on that project, which will be submitted to an academic research conference. The final report includes a revision of the original conceptual model, integrating new understandings and literature arising from the data collection and analysis. Prereq: DBAP 638 .
