Description:
Is ‘qualitative data analysis’ too vague for you?
Are you wondering how to do justice to your data? If you are researching social processes, institutions, culture or identity, but are unsure about how to analyse the discourse data from your fieldwork, then consider joining this five day research training course.
The programme is designed to help PhD and post-doctoral researchers to navigate the twin perils of over- and under-interpreting discourse data.
It introduces a range of key perspectives and tools used to study language and communication ethnographically and it facilitates the study of social practice in a wide range of different settings – education, workplace, recreation, health etc.
Initiated with ESRC funding in 2007 and now based in the King’s ESRC Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Centre, this will be our 8th ELC five-day course.
The course will be held at King’s College London from Monday to Friday, and
it is taught by an international team from several leading research institutions:
Prof Ben Rampton (Director), Dr Jeff Bezemer, Prof Jan Blommaert,
Prof Carey Jewitt, Dr Adam Lefstein, Dr Julia Snell.
The deadline for applications is 11 April 2016. Spaces are limited, so candidates are advised to apply as soon as possible. Some funding will be available for bursaries.
Entry requirements
Having qualitative data that you need to analyse (2nd or 3rd year of a PhD; post-doctoral research etc) We give priority to people: - who are either in the second year of their PhD or beyond; - whose work seems most likely to benefit from the training input. Please note that registration is not guaranteed. Spaces on the course are strictly limited, so candidates are advised to apply as soon as possible.
Cost:
The fee for researchers in full employment is £700.00. The concessionary fee for students is £550.00.
For students from outside King's, some funding is available for bursaries, which will be allocated on the basis of relative need. There will also be a subsidy for students based at KCL. The details will be determined after 13 April 2016.
