Course content:
The seminar provides participants with valuable insights and practical guidance on conducting expert interviews as a qualitative research method in the social sciences. It aims to provide participants with the necessary skills to effectively design, execute, and analyze expert interviews for generating rich and nuanced qualitative data.
Expert interviews offer a unique opportunity to gather in-depth knowledge and perspectives from individuals who possess specialized expertise in a particular field or topic. This seminar will explore the theoretical foundations and methodological considerations underlying expert interviews, helping participants understand when and why this method is appropriate for their research projects.
Educational objective:
Throughout the seminar, participants will engage in interactive discussions, practical exercises, and case studies to develop their understanding of expert interviews as a qualitative research method. They will also have the opportunity to critically evaluate the strengths and limitations of this approach and explore potential applications in their own research domains.
By the end of the seminar, participants will have gained a comprehensive understanding of expert interviews as a robust method for generating qualitative data in the social sciences. They will be equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to effectively plan, execute, and analyze expert interviews, ultimately enhancing the quality and depth of their research findings.
This seminar serves as a platform for students seeking to refine their methodological expertise, expand their qualitative research toolkit, and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in their respective fields through the rigorous and thoughtful application of expert interviews.
