The course will provide an overview of qualitative methods used in social
science. The course is designed around joint reading, written submissions and
joint discussions in weekly seminars, connected with the course literature and
the PhD student’s own research projects.
The seminars are the core of the course and represent an important co-learning environment, therefore we expect each PhD student to have read the assigned course literature, submit assignments on time and come prepared for each seminar.
In total the course is 5 credits which means that we expect the students to work approximately four weeks fulltime in total with the course.The course runs part time during the autumn 20205, with physical meetings between 13 Oct and 22 Nov. Maximum 10 students. Students at departments of Urban and Rural development and Economics, and students who can commit to be present physically in the classroom for all meetings will be given priority.
