Qualitative Data Analysis: Qualitative Analyses of Interview Data, 2–3 cr

The qualitative interview has become one of the most frequently used methods to generate data to make sense of our lives, and an invaluable tool for the qualitative researcher. Whether chosen as the default and sole means of data generation on its own, or combined with other forms of data gathering and analyses, interview practice continues to evolve, diversify and flourish. This three-day course focuses on the analysis of interview data. It deals with the variety of styles and traditions of analysis, the practical aspects and steps along the way, as well as key questions analyst should be asking. The course consists of lectures on specific analytic stances and approaches by specialist in the field, discussion on doctoral researchers’ own ongoing analysis and the key questions tackled therein.
