SOWK 826 QUALITATIVE RESEARCH METHODS
This doctoral course is designed to introduce students to the history, principles and methods of qualitative research. The course will cover the theoretical and multi-disciplinary origins of the methods as well as application of qualitative methods germane to social work practice, programs and policy. It is an experiential course embedded with the core qualitative methods of observation, interviews and document analysis. We will examine the family of research strategies that fall under the rubric of qualitative inquiry (such as ethnography, narrative analysis, text or discourse analysis, visual analysis, case-study, grounded theory, oral/life history, focus groups, phenomenology, community-based participatory action research).
