This course provides a comprehensive overview of qualitative methods used in social science research. Students develop the skills and competencies necessary to design qualitative inquiry, including defining research questions, writing a literature review, choosing an appropriate methodology (e.g., ethnography, case studies, participatory action research), and determining methods of data collection (e.g., interviews, observations, visual methods), and analysis (e.g., content analysis, discourse analysis). Students explore the philosophical foundations of qualitative research methods, power and ethics in human subjects research, and monitoring and evaluation through a critical and decolonial lens.
