Focus Groups – SOCI516

Instructor: Dr Kirsty Morrin

This module will help students to design, plan and carry out focus group discussions. Using case studies to illustrate the application of focus groups to research particular issues, students will gain understandings of the theory, practicalities and ethics of using this method to elicit data, and how to prepare and analyse these data.

Particular attention will be paid to the analysis of verbal and non-verbal interaction. This module will combine lectures and discussions with practical exercises within the group, as well as discussions about the wider literature.

Registration for SOCI516 is now closed. The course will be repeated in 2018/19. Sign-up to the engage@liverpool mailing list for announcements of upcoming events.
