The course focuses on the methodological, technical, and ethical aspects of qualitative research interviewing, including in-depth, narrative, and ethnographic techniques. Readings will be drawn from anthropological, sociological, feminist, decolonizing and intersectional educational studies. Emphasizing experiential learning, the seminar will feature practical activities to develop research skills. Topics include the epistemological foundations of qualitative interviewing, study design, ethics, interviewing strategies, fieldwork planning, use of field notes, positionality and power dynamics, data management, researcher reflexivity, and presentation of findings. A key theme will be the importance of reflecting on and justifying research design choices.
