If you are new to qualitative research or if you want some initial help to engage with the materials appropriately, then this webinar programme is for you. Doing Qualitative Research is a free curated resource we developed that takes researchers through the whole research cycle, not just the analysis. There is a heavy emphasis on what it is like to 'do' qualitative research in a robust, ethical and professional manner, with practical exercises and reflexive tasks suggested throughout. We are running two, one-hour webinars together with asynchronous, self-directed engagement with the course materials, to help a peer-group of researchers work through the resources on the parts of the qualitative research process they need help with. We understand that not everyone needs to cover the same materials and concepts, or at the same pace. In the first station, discussion with your peers and the facilitator, will help you choose which parts of the Doing Qualitative Research course to focus on before the second webinar. The concluding webinar uses group work and discussion for you to additionally practice one of the most important aspects of the qualitative research paradigm; reflexivity. You will identify what you have learned and how this affects what you will do next with your learning and research. The webinars are facilitated by our Qualitative Research Specialist Dr Cathy Gibbons. Cathy has almost 20 years' experience of teaching qualitative methods across a wide spectrum of disciplines within and beyond the social sciences. The session is free, and runs as two 2hr sessions, 2 weeks apart.
