In this Lab and Methods course, we will take a deeper dive into different types of qualitative research approaches, such as observation, interviewing, and multimodal (e.g., text, media) analysis, to learn how each method can help us investigate elements of the human experience that we might otherwise not be able to study. We will cover basic theoretical principles of qualitative inquiry and acquire a general understanding of how different qualitative methods work. Through discussions, critique, a student-created �mini study,� and lots of hands-on practice, you will explore different ways of investigating our world in a scientific, but non-statistical, way that accurately and ethically uplifts the voices of your study participants. The goal of this course is to help you develop skills in qualitative research that will serve you well as a researcher or practitioner in psychology.
