Workshop Structure

The workshop will be led by Dr. Ansgar Jödicke (University of Fribourg, Switzerland) and Dr. Andrea Rota (University of Oslo), and will provide to the participants the opportunity to engage in critical discussions on established frameworks for analyzing qualitative data, with a specific emphasis on interview analysis techniques. The workshop will promote a “hands-on” approach and allow the participant to gain new insights in the analysis of their own data.

 

Part 1: Interdisciplinary discussions on methodologies for qualitative data analysis, with a focus on interview analysis.

Part 2: Participants will receive individual feedback from Dr. Jödicke on their submitted data analysis (or data collection plan). Specific submission guidelines will be provided beforehand.

Part 3: Dr. Rota will introduce software tools for qualitative data analysis, demonstrating their functionalities.

 

This is a 1 ECTS workshop.
