Four Qualitative Methods for Understanding Diverse Lives (for professionals)

Thursday 1st January 1970, 1:00am

In this one-day online training workshop, you will be introduced to four qualitative methods to better understand diverse lives: photo go-alongs, collage, life history interviews and participant packs.

When researching social groups, it can be tempting to focus on categories such as age, gender, sexuality and so on. However, these categories can turn catch-all terms into catch-all agendas. Treating groups of people with one shared characteristic as homogenous risks a cookie-cutter approach which overlooks diverse lives and needs. Given the complexity of what it means to be a person, a one-size fits all approach to engagement cannot suffice.

The methods introduced in this training workshop are beneficial in exploring diverse lives and can be used when working or researching with any group.

The course is being run by the National Centre for Research Methods, which is based in the Faculty of Social Sciences.
