Introduction to Critical Qualitative Research
Today there are two broadly defined perspectives from which critical qualitative research draws: the tradition of critical theory, and poststructuralism. Critical qualitative research is distinguished from other genres of inquiry through its specific use of social theory in framing research questions, analyzing data and meeting validity criteria. - September 2007 - Dermot Moran,
Phenomenology in Health-related practice and research: deliberations,
considerations, perspectives and directions
In these two days, Dermot Moran, a world leading philosopher, provided an overview of this rich philosophical tradition and its potential for interdisciplinary development. Participants had the opportunity to explore the potential influence of leading twentieth century philosophers such as Husserl and Heidegger for their own thinking, for underpinning research or for illuminating nuances in practice. Participants were also invited to bring questions, and issues or examples of work that they were developing in relation to the philosophical themes addressed. - June 2007 - Peter Willis & Sally
Borbasi, New and Novel Methods for Transformative Learning: evocative
portrayal in research and teaching
One of the great challenges to practice-relevant educators is how to promote a kind of learning that draws on the personal and professional imagination in rich and useful ways. This masterclass will pursue two resources for this endeavour: the kind of research that communicates its findings in evocatively expressive ways, and the pedagogic potential of story-telling based in one's own and other's lives. - May 2007 - AHRC Performative Social Science Workshop Series (Workshop 4): Rhythm and Blues: Turning to the body
Facilitators: Profs Carol Picard and Dawn Freshwater - April 2007 - Carolyn Ellis, Writing
Autoethnography
In the last two decades, many qualitative researchers have experimented with narrative and autoethnographic writing, concentrating on writing in a more evocative and literary style and including themselves as participants in their interview and ethnographic studies of others. Likewise, there has been a burgeoning of autoethnographic projects that focus directly on the research and personal experiences of the author. Dr. Ellis will lead a 2-day Masterclass on Writing Autoethnography in which participants will have the opportunity to examine and practice personal narrative writing as well as try out ways to incorporate these techniques into ongoing ethnographic research. - March 2007 - Margarete
