The Research Workshop Qualitative Methods offers the possibility to bring in your research materials and engage with different research projects and approaches. The goal is the practical examination of qualitative methods and the immersion in concrete research practice.
Methodological and interpretation-related concerns that arise in the context of final theses (at the Bachelor, Master and PhD levels) and research projects are welcome.
Two slots are available per date for bringing in your materials. Participants who want to participate without their own material are also welcome!
