WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT
Seminar on Qualitative Methods and Research Design
October 20th (evening) to 24th (afternoon)
Lille
This is a week-long intensive seminar on qualitative methods and research design for studies adopting a cultural approach of consumption. This is one of the seminars offered by the European doctoral school Consumer Culture Theorizing – that originated from the collaboration between University of Southern Denmark (Odense, Denmark), Bilkent University (Turkey), Univ Lille Nord de France-SKEMA Business School (France) and Royal Holloway University of London (UK). The intended audience is doctoral students and junior faculty members.
Aims of the Seminar
The overarching objective of the seminar is to familiarize young researchers with qualitative methods to be adopted when conducting consumer research projects. Faculty members and participants will be involved in reflecting upon the construction and coherence of their research design, as well as potential methodological contributions. Speakers will address the diversity of existing qualitative methods (interviews, ethnography, videography, historical approach…). They will also discuss about issues such as conducting a fieldwork on a sensitive topic, researchers’ distance with the fieldwork, etc.
In this way, the seminar will:
- allow participants to familiarize and understand a variety of qualitative methods. The aim will be to develop participants’ skills in building a coherent and relevant research design in line with the phenomenon that they want to study and their research questions.
- train the participants to methodological thinking. Stimulating debates between faculty and young researchers will be the perfect arena to think out of the box and identify new challenges to be addressed in consumption studies.
- favour personal and collective exchanges with faculty members and with other students. For example, students will be invited during one-to-one session to discuss about methods and data analysis with the mentors.
