The purpose of this seminar-based course is to provide students with advanced knowledge on transformative qualitative research methodologies, methods and analysis related to redressing health inequities from a strength-based interdisciplinary perspective. Using case study and other applied approaches students will gain knowledge and experience in: the application of critical social theories to health research; understanding processes of community, stakeholder, and partnership engagement from multiple scales and perspectives (e.g. indigenous populations locally and globally); various ways of generating qualitative data and analyzing texts consistent with selected theory; developing different products for knowledge exchange activities; and the ethics and politics inherent within the research process.
