Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis Workshop Sept. 30

This virtual workshop, hosted by The Qualitative Report and delivered by Jonathan Smith from Birkbeck University of London UK, will provide a practical introduction to the experiential, qualitative approach-interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA).

The aim is that, by the end of the class, attendees will recognize the important principles of the approach and understand the main practical steps involved in a research project using IPA. The workshop will begin with a short example of a study conducted by Jonathan.

The best way to get to grips with the value of an approach is to see what it can produce. This will be followed by a brief presentation of the theoretical underpinnings of IPA. Most of the workshop will focus on Smith guiding participants through the stages of conducting an IPA study: design, data collection, analysis, writing up.

The workshops will take place via the Zoom platform.
