This will be followed by a brief presentation of the theoretical underpinnings of IPA. Most of the workshop will be taken up with Jonathan guiding participants through the stages of conducting an IPA study: design, data collection, analysis, writing up. There will be opportunities for hands on work by delegates during the class.

Tuesday, March 31 2020

This workshop is intended for researchers and postgraduate and doctoral students who have already begun an IPA study.
