This seminar prepares students to learn about the major ways and most recent developments of doing qualitative research methods in culture studies, as well as applied linguistics and gender studies. The course will be focused on interdisciplinary approaches organized around three thematic issues: methods, self-reflection, and theoretical and conceptual exploration. The students will read sample researches and self-reflections on the research procedure by top names in the chosen field of research to help students learn how to develop their own methodology in response to the need of the changing design of their projects. They will be asked to reflect on their own research projects regarding the questions of how to conceptualize the ‘problem’ and its consequences for selecting and approaching data, sorting and coding, the ways of reading for emphasis, details and gaps, as well as presenting and interpreting the ‘results’ of analysis. Finally, we shall address questions of internal and external ‘validity’ in qualitative approaches where the analysis is concerned with meaning and the complex – textually mediated – process of its production.
