Method School Courses
I have been teaching qualitative data analysis at the European Consortium for Political Research’s Summer School since 2009 and Winter School since 2013. Both the Summer and Winter School offer top-notch courses for the political and related social sciences on philosophy of science, research designs, methods of data collection and analysis, plus a vast range of software courses for qualitative and quantitative analyses. There I teach three courses that focus on building knowledge and skills in qualitative data analysis: first, at the Summer School every July, I teach Introduction to NVivo followed by the method courses Qualitative Data Analysis and Advanced Qualitative Data Analysis. I also teach these three courses at the Winter School in February. In addition, I teach similar introductory and advanced courses at the IPSA-NUS Summer School which takes place every July at the National University of Singapore.
A brief description of each course is provided below.
