Content and structure

The Jean Monnet Chair at UPF is glad to convey to all the interested UPF Graduate Student community and UPF Staff that we will host and organize the online Workshop Seminar of Qualitative Data Analysis by Prof. Lea Sgier (University of Geneva, Switzerland). The content of the course includes Discourse Analysis, Thematic Analysis, and insights on the validity, interpretation and communication of qualitative findings. Part of the workshop will consist in (interactive) lectures that introduce key ideas related to data analysis. Another part will be devoted to practical work (some most likely on common data).

On the other hand, the session is divided in four consecutive days, namely:

- March 22nd, 2:00-5:00 PM

- March 23rd, 2:00-5:00 PM

- March 24th, 2:00-5:00 PM

- March 25th, 2:00-5:00 PM
