“Logics & Logistics of Qualitative Research” – Well Attended and Well Received!

Dr. Ralph LaRossa, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, and Dr. Mandy Swygart-Hobaugh, Librarian Associate Professor for Sociology, Gerontology, & Data Services, led a productive and informative workshop today in CURVE, entitled “The Logics and Logistics of Qualitative Research: A Framework for Exploring Concepts, Dimensions, and Relationships in Qualitative Data using NVivo Research Software.”

Dr. Ralph LaRossa and Dr. Mandy Swygart-Hobaugh

In this workshop, Dr. LaRossa presented the “logics” of building theoretically-rich qualitative analyses, drawing from his own and others’ publications (handout with readings). Dr. Swygart-Hobaugh then outlined the specific features of NVivo qualitative research software that complement and facilitate these types of analyses.

Interested in learning more about NVivo qualitative research software? Attend one of Dr. Swygart-Hobaugh’s regularly-offered hands-on workshops, or email her to setup an appointment to talk more about how NVivo might be useful for your qualitative research needs.

When: Wednesday, October 21, 11:00am-12:30pm – *REGISTER HERE*

Where: CURVE (Collaborative University Research & Visualization Environment), Library South 2nd Floor

In this workshop, Dr. Ralph LaRossa, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, and Dr. Mandy Swygart-Hobaugh, Librarian Associate Professor for Sociology, Gerontology, & Data Services, will present both the theoretical-methodological “logics” and the applied-methodological “logistics” of conducting qualitative data analysis (i.e., non-statistical analysis of textual, audio, visual, and/or audiovisual sources). Dr. LaRossa will discuss the steps involved in building theoretically-rich qualitative analyses. Dr. Swygart-Hobaugh will outline the specific features of NVivo qualitative research software that complement and facilitate these analyses. There also will be opportunities for questions and discussion.

This workshop will be especially helpful for faculty and graduate students who are immersed – or about to be immersed – in a qualitative project and would like an overview on how to do qualitative analysis and how to use NVivo in the process.  Those interested in publishing qualitative work and/or applying for grants based on qualitative work will also find it helpful.

NOTE: This workshop will NOT involve hands-on NVivo training – see the workshop listings on this page for hands-on NVivo training opportunities.
