This course primarily deals with the application of methodologies for qualitative data analysis in political science more broadly, and international relations more specifically. Upon course completion, the students will have familiarized themselves with the theoretical background and practical application of qualitative data analysis, with an emphasis on interpretive methods (Qualitative Content Analysis/Thematic Analysis, Discourse Analysis, Post-structuralist Discourse Analysis). At the end of the course, participants will have understood the implications of applying different methods and will have achieved a more sophisticated and critical attitude towards data, the research process and research reports.
