Qualitative Research Methods facilitates discussion, awareness, and understanding of social research methodology. In this course we seek to understand the basics of social research with a specific focus on qualitative social research methods. This objective is achieved through discussions, applications, and demonstrating the ability to solve social problems via viable social research. This includes the development, design, and application of several analysis papers, culminating in a written research proposal and an oral presentation. Methods covered include ethnography, interviewing, content analysis, (un)obtrusive measures, visual analysis, and ethics.
