About the lecture
In this lecture, we think about some challenges and practical issues associated with qualitative research, focusing in particular on: (i) what qualitative research is, particularly in relation to quantitative research; (ii) the importance of ethnographic methods to qualitative research; (iii) some central issues, notably those linked to ethics, which arise when undertaking qualitative research; (iv) the greater difficulty in qualitative research, as compared with quantitative, of ensuring that research is rigorous, and three ways of doing this – triangulation, conducting a literature review, and reflexivity.
