What does the process of conducting qualitative research look like? How can qualitative research tools and approaches be incorporated into everyday practice? How does one craft research questions, collect and analyze data, and make appropriate claims about findings? This introductory module is designed for those who are interested in incorporating qualitative research techniques or dispositions into their work as practitioners, as well as for students considering future careers in research. It does not presuppose prior experience or familiarity with qualitative research methods. The module follows a workshop-style format and involves working in small groups.
