Research Design and Qualitative Methods

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

Researchers and practitioners in the field of international studies and planning often conduct qualitative research to understand the impacts of and people's experiences with development and planning projects. Then, how do we produce effective qualitative research questions? What data should we gather to address those questions? What methods should we use? How do we prepare for field research? How do we process and analyze the collected data? How do we link literature, research questions, methods, and data to formulate arguments and make conclusions? Throughout the semester, we will address these questions through lecturers, in-class activities, method exercises, and data analysis workshops. 

When Offered Fall, Spring.
