Undervisnings- form: The requirement in the course will be for each student to design and carry out a small-scale research study during the semester. Readings and class discussions are designed to help students in this work. Discussion will focus on the readings, but also on the class members' on-going work. Students should work in group (two or three) with the following objectives:

1) Define a research problem for which qualitative research is especially appropriate and justify it; Design a Research Plan including background and statement of the problem, literature Review (need only 2-3 qualitative studies related to your problem) and methodological strategy (appending draft of interview questions when appropriate);

2) Carry out fieldwork completing a minimum of five one-hour observations/interviews, documented by field notes (data from observations, systematic as well as informal interviewing, and documents whenever available and relevant).
3) Write an essay (report) presenting and discussing the results of the field work against the background of the research problem and highlighting methodological issues.
Formål: The primary goal of the course is to provide each student with personal experience in conducting qualitative research on a topic of his own interest. Special focus will be on methodological strategies combining observation, semi-structured interviews and/or biographical methods.
