Advanced Qualitative Data Analysis

3 credits · School of Nursing

This is an advanced graduate-level course focused on the theory, techniques, and issues of qualitative data analysis and interpretation. The course is designed for graduate students who are taking qualitative/interpretative approaches to their research i.e. using qualitative forms of data and/or qualitative (non-numeric, interpretive) forms of analysis. This course is ideal for students in the late data gathering and analysis phase of their research, although students at the proposal writing and pre-data collection stage will also benefit. The course aims to give students knowledge and experience in applied qualitative analysis practices, but also to enhance their ability to articulate and address the core theoretical and methodological issues of qualitative inquiry
