QSIG workshop: Quality criteria in qualitative psychology research
Quality in qualitative research is a much-debated topic, yet an important one. This interactive workshop will provide hands-on, in-depth training in appraising and developing good qualitative research. The workshop will introduce you to important general criteria for quality that can be applied in developing and assessing most qualitative research. Furthermore, we will set out method-specific criteria for the most commonly used qualitative research approach: Reflexive Thematic Analysis (RTA). The interactive workshop provides a space for attendees to develop skills in high-quality research and more specifically in research that employs different methodological approaches. The event is a great opportunity for anyone interested in conducting and teaching qualitative methods, including doctoral students, post-doctoral students and early-career faculty members.
Please join our mailing list for the Zoom link, which will be sent out at the start of May and again a week before and the morning of the workshop.
