Introduction to Qualitative Research Methods

In this course we explore the nature of qualitative research and Indigenous qualitative research, and how we can use methods from these approaches to better understand the complexity of social life and relations. Whilst we predominantly explore established techniques such as interviewing and participant observation, emphasis is also placed on how these methods can be supplemented with visual, digital, and material methods. This course highlights Indigenous and participatory methodological approaches to push research practices in directions that are better able to meet the complexity and concerns of today's world.
