The module would explain the foundation, process, and case studies of designing a research project employing qualitative methods and interpretive approaches. This course would provide students with training which explains the reasoning and terminology of qualitative and interpretive methodologies; and explores what a procedural character and rigorous argumentation of qualitative and/or interpretive research might look like. The course would begin discussing the premise of creating a research design which acknowledges that researchers are embedded in the intersubjective social processes they study and what this means for how they approach research. It explains the role of a researcher’s theoretical, philosophical, and ultimately methodological choices in designing research projects. It answers the query ‘How does one begin to design an empirical research project?’ in a qualitative context and provides students with different weeks exploring common forms of qualitative and interpretative research methods. This includes methods such as discourse analysis, theoretical analysis, ethnography and participant observation, focus groups, interviews, archival research and more.
