Storying, Interpreting, & ConstructUsing Qualitative Inquiry (PBH 601)
Term: 2025-2026 Academic Year Summer
Description
Qualitative inquiry uses interpretive strategies to make sense of the world. The CDC Field Epidemiology Manual notes that qualitative research can help us understand "perceptions, values, opinions, and community norms." This course emphasizes qualitative conceptual and analytic application and practice. In addition to exploring the alignment between ontology, epistemology, and axiology and qualitative inquiry, we will discuss common theories, methodologies, and analytic strategies associated with qualitative research.
