Description:
A special online event, lasting 2 ½ hours, where you can delve into the world of interpretive sampling with Karen O'Reilly, author of Qualitative Research Methods for Everyone. Join us for an interactive session where you'll learn the logic of interpretive sampling, including an introduction to the concepts of initial, ongoing and final samples - with examples. We then move on to the thorny issue of sample size. We also discuss where other types of sampling fit with this model - convenience, snowball, case study, grounded theory sampling - and there will be opportunity for questions.
