SUMMARY:Qualitative Research in Peace and Conflict Studies
DESCRIPTION:Qualitative research is an integral part of political science\,
  with case studies often providing the basis for our theorizing. This cour
 se addresses the key elements of qualitative methodology\, from research d
 esign to different approaches to collecting and analyzing data. It enables
  students to become “both critical consumers and beginning producers” 
 (Kellstedt and Whitten 2018) of scholarly research on politics. In doing s
 o\, the seminar familiarizes students with a wide range of qualitative met
 hods\, helping them develop an understanding of their diversity\, strength
 s\, and limitations while equipping them to devise their own research desi
 gns.\n\nIt is divided into three parts. The first part addresses the funda
 mentals of qualitative research\, including research design and case studi
 es\, while also paying attention to questions of research ethics and the u
 se of (generative) AI. The second part of the seminar sheds light on diffe
 rent approaches to data collection\, including interviews\, focus groups\,
  and ethnographic work. The third part delves into data analysis\, coverin
 g different approaches from Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) to proc
 ess tracing and qualitative content analysis. The course is based on the p
 remise that meaningful discussion of research methods also requires engage
 ment with substantive content. Accordingly\, it draws on current examples 
 from peace and conflict studies (and adjacent fields) covering different w
 orld regions.
