NEW SOCIOLOGY COURSE SPRING 2025!
SOCL 302-01E Qualitative Research
Prof. Maria Akchurin
Tues/Thurs 1-2:15 pm
This engaged learning course introduces students to major qualitative methods of social inquiry. We will cover historical analysis, interviewing, and ethnographic observation, as well as discussing ethical and practical issues of field research. Students will work on a semester-long Public Sociology Interviewing Project, applying lessons from the course to study a sociological question through in-depth interviewing. We will also read recent qualitative sociological works on topics relating to cities, environmental issues, immigration, inequality, work, and media/pop culture for insight and inspiration, reflecting on how researchers collect their data and use it to tell a story.
Outcomes: Students will gain an understanding of important methods of data collection and analysis common in social science research. Students will gain experience using these techniques to conduct research and evaluate the research of others.
