‘Doing Credible Qualitative Research’
A Masterclass by Professor David Silverman
Presented by Education Futures with the support of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor: Research & Enterprise.
Qualitative researchers often try to do the same as quantitative research but with smaller samples. This interactive masterclass is relevant to PhD students and early career researchers and more experienced researchers who want to do qualitative research and to write it up rigorously and effectively. It provides guidance on how to use the latest constructionist approaches which treat our data as instances of complex behaviours and hence complementary to quantitative research.

'Writing Up a Qualitative PhD' Presented by Education Futures with the support of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor: Research & Enterprise.
'Writing up' should never be something left to the end of your research. Instead, writing should be a continuous process, learning from your supervisor, your peers and your own mistakes. I examine how this writing up can be accomplished efficiently if rarely painlessly.
-Practical suggestions about when to write a literature review and what it should contain. How to avoid dull methodology chapters. Keeping a research diary.
- How to write data chapters. What to include and what to omit.
-Concluding chapters that are not summaries, but which stretch the imagination
