Medical systems and healthcare practices are neither discrete nor autonomous; they are, in fact, embedded in various forms of social and cultural life, such as, politics, the economy, the family and community, and worlds of work. With a concern for the human, social, cultural and experiential, qualitative approaches combine a wide-range of strategies towards investigating medicine and health in context. Taking a problem-oriented and critical approach, and drawing on a range of social science literatures focusing on current concerns relating to biomedicine, public health, and science and technology, this programme aims to provide postgraduate students with the relevant knowledge and skills to develop, conduct and critique forms of qualitative research.
The objective of these six lectures is to introduce you to the epistemological traditions and the critical arguments that underpin the practice of various forms of qualitative inquiry. Particular emphasis will be focused on the necessary integration between methodological approaches, techniques for data gathering and forms of analysis to show how all are mutually informing aspects of the research process. For further information, contact Dr Ciara Kierans on ciarak@liverpool.ac.uk
Lectures include:
•22nd October: Introduction to Programme: Historical perspectives on science, rationality and method: the empiricist perspective (1-3pm)
•29th October: Positivism: implications and critiques (1-3pm)
•5th November: Researching meaning, experience and subjectivity (1-3pm)
•12th November: Phenomenology and hermeneutic inquiry: implications for data collection (interviewing) (1-3pm)
•19th November: Symbolic interactionism and the phenomenological tradition: implications for data collection (ethnographic research)(1-3pm)
•26th November: Studies of Language Use and Practice, Ethnomethodology, Conversation Analysis and Ordinary Language Philosophy: implications for data collection and analysis (1-3pm)
