COURSE SCHEDULE
PART I: From
EPISTEMOLOGIES to THEORIES to METHODOLOGIES Week 1 (Jan 6): Approaches to
the study of people and culture Denzin and
Lincolns introductory chapter describes some common differences in the
epistemologies of qualitative and quantitative research, and offers a history
of how qualitative approaches have changed over the course of eight moments
of qualitative research. Denzin and
Lincolns historical account has been widely influential in shaping a common
vocabulary for contemporary interdisciplinary qualitative research. ·
Denzin and Lincoln. Introduction: The Discipline
and Practice of Qualitative Research. Week 2 (Jan 13): Whose Side are you On? The readings for
today expose and discuss some common tensions and disagreements among
contemporary qualitative researchers. While most established qualitative
researchers now reject naïve realism and positivism, qualitative researchers
differ widely on what they see as their ultimate research purpose (and hence
their research strategies and alliances). ·
