Qualitative Methods Reading Group

Each month, Dr Jon Dean (Director of Advanced Qualitative Methods for the WRDTP) facilitates a one-hour discussion of a key classic or contemporary qualitative methods article or chapter.

Students should read the text beforehand, and come ready to talk about it in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. This is an opportunity to study a key text in-depth, and to learn from fellow PGR students.

The first few months’ texts were chosen by White Rose students at the Methods Showcase event in January 2025. If there are texts you want to discuss in future, please come along and suggest them.

This session’s reading is:

Howard S. Becker (1967) Whose Side Are We On?, Social Problems. 14 (3): 239-247.
