CHL5107H Position Description -Emergency Posting
This is an introductory course intended for Master’s students in public health with limited prior exposure to qualitative research. Students will acquire an introductory-level understanding of qualitative research; it will provide students with an understanding of the foundations, approaches, and methods associated with qualitative inquiry, become informed consumers of qualitative research, and begin to plan and implement qualitative approaches to public health inquiry. Students pursuing qualitative research for Master’s or Doctoral thesis work will need to take additional courses to acquire the required proficiency for that level of work.
This course covers a range of issues including the theoretical grounding of qualitative research, selected approaches, methods of data collection and analysis, and the application of qualitative research to the exploration of public health issues. The assigned readings, videos or other visuals, for each session include both theoretical and applied material. Assignments give students an opportunity to begin to develop new skills and learn by doing, as well as by reflecting on aspects of qualitative research.
