Special Topics in Education; Critical Qualitative Research
Credits:
3
Grad Meth:
Reg, Aud, S-F
This course examines specific qualitative research issues, at any stage of research, that students are considering using a critical theoretical lens. Critical theories include critical race, womanist/feminist, queer, indigenous, postcolonial, global, critical dis/ability theories, among others. Critical theories are often philosophical, sociological, and cultural approaches which seek to understand power and inequality in systems, societies, communities, and families. This is a workshop style course where emerging researchers can address a specific issue of concern in any stage of qualitative research such as research ethics, methodological approach selection, research questions, research design, conceptual framework, fieldwork/data collection, member checking, data analysis/coding, thematic development, writing, or evaluation, among other stages of qualitative work. Although not necessary, students tend to bring work that is currently in-progress to push forward. The work, which we undertake together, will be selective rather than comprehensive, theoretical as well as practical, and hopefully personally compelling as well.
