Description:
This one day online course will explore temporal research methods, in particular looking at qualitative longitudinal interviewing techniques and creative activities used in support of interviews to encourage participants to think over extended time periods. The course assumes that you have some knowledge of qualitative research methods – particularly interviewing, and builds on that knowledge by introducing qualitative longitudinal interviews and the use of creative activity packs. The course will include practical advice and tips on using creative methods in research, as well as an opportunity to try out some of the activity packs. These include mapping, ranking exercises, photo elicitation, and the use of pre-existing images and video, amongst others. The morning sessions will introduce qualitative longitudinal interviewing as a temporal approach, and outline the rationale for using activity packs. The afternoon sessions will cover techniques for thinking about the past, present and future and how these extended temporal horizons can add an important dimension to research.
The course covers:
- An introduction to qualitative longitudinal interviewing
- The use of creative activity packs, including practical and ethical issues
- Approaches to help participants talk about the past and future
By the end of the course participants will:
- Have an insight into qualitative longitudinal interviewing as a temporal research approach
- Have an overview of a range of activities that can be included in creative activity packs
- Understand practical and ethical issues with the use of activity packs
