Description:
Qualitative Longitudinal methods are used to reveal how change is created, lived and experienced, exploring the intersection between biographical and wider historical processes. QL research creates a useful bridge between theoretical studies of time and more empirically driven life course and longitudinal studies. The method has particular value in policy and organisational contexts where individuals are required to change their behaviour or adapt to changing circumstances, or where change processes in policy or practice environments need to be evaluated and better understood. This training day has been designed to provide high quality training in Qualitative Longitudinal Methods for both early career researchers and those new to this method. Practical issues of generating and managing data using QL methods will be covered, and examples will be given of the rich variety of ways in which time can be embedded in social enquiry and how it can be utilised as both a conceptual category and methodological strategy. Through a choice of linked practical sessions participants can engage in depth with practical aspects of research from design through to practical tools which can be used in the research process.
