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.

Participants 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.

The reading for Monday 21st September (10:00-11:00) is:

Palmer, D. A. (2025). Grounding ethical governance: Co-produced, community-based research ethics in qualitative and oral history practice with vulnerable groups. Research Ethics, 17470161251388131.
