Description:This workshop aims to introduce participants to the basics of discourse analysis as an analytic method for qualitative research. The workshop will cover both theoretical and practical issues, and will guide participants through the process of doing a discourse analysis, to enable participants to get to grips with, and feel confident in, discursively analysing qualitative data. The focus of the workshop will be deliberately broad to enable participants to transfer and implement key skills learnt during the workshop to their own research area. In addition, the workshop aims to ‘get beyond’ a textbook approach to teaching and learning about qualitative methods and will emphasise the ‘messy’ reality of qualitative research.
Cost:
£120 for external participants; £60 for internal participants
