Qualitative Methods Reading Group

Please note that the Reading Group will no longer be meeting on Wednesday 3rd June, as originally planned. The next session will now be on Tuesday 7th July (10:00-11:00). This session’s reading will still be as shown below, but a new Teams link will be sent to WRDTP-funded PGRs and shared via our next monthly Training and Events Round-Up.

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.

If there are texts you want to discuss in future, please come along and suggest them.

This session’s reading is:

Hopkins, P. E. (2007). Thinking critically and creatively about focus groups. Area, 39(4), 528-535.
