Summer School Courses
Next June 2026, the University of Singapore will host the 15th Annual IPSA-NUS Summer School for Social Science Research Methods, which will take place on June 29 – July 3, 2026. As part of the event, I will teach the courses Introduction to Qualitative Data Analysis and Advanced Qualitative Data Analysis. A brief description of both courses is provided below.
Introduction to Qualitative Data Analysis
Dates: 29 June to July 3, 2026
Schedule: 9:00 am to 12:30 pm SGT
This course provides a solid foundation and practical skills for conducting qualitative data analysis in one’s research. The course opens the “black box” of qualitative analysis and challenges the prejudices of subjectivity, bias, and anecdotalism associated with qualitative research by teaching participants that qualitative analysis can be systematic, transparent, and traceable, and that it has unique value to the social sciences. The course is open to everyone.

Advanced Qualitative Data Analysis
Dates: 29 June to July 3, 2026
Schedule: 14:00 pm to 17:30 pm SGT
This course elevates your knowledge and skills in qualitative data analysis by teaching the unique features, strengths, and limitations of four widely used qualitative designs in the social sciences. In turn, you will learn to plan, conduct, and present the findings of qualitative content analysis (Schreier, 2012), thematic analysis (Boyatzis, 1998), cross-case analysis (Miles & Huberman, 1994), and grounded theory (Strauss & Corbin, 1998) using NVivo software. The course is open to everyone.

As a qualitative research consultant, I am on a mission to open the black box of qualitative analysis and challenge the prejudices surrounding subjectivity, bias, and anecdotalism of qualitative research. As you will learn if you work with me, qualitative analysis is systematic, transparent, and traceable, and can yield unique knowledge and insights that quantitative research can't. I train research teams and faculty staff, provide one-on-one coaching to researchers, and teach doctoral-level courses in method schools. I consult for humanitarian aid agencies worldwide in decolonising research and participatory methodologies.
