Grieg Research School in Interdisciplinary Music Studies (GRS) invites Ph.D. candidates and other researchers to the autumn 2014 course. This course will focus on methods and methodology as related to the collection of data material and the analysis of data material.  

The course will be taught through lectures and workshops. Topics covered will include:

 

Methods of Data collection

  • Interviews: procedures and process
  • Interpersonal Process Recall Method
  • Working with focus groups: methods, concepts and practicialities
  • Workshops will focus on how to write interview guidelines, issues of reflexivity and practical conduct of interviews.

 

Methods of Data Analysis

  • Interpretation of empirical material in qualitative music studies
  • The role of theory in the process of interpreting data.
  • Can hermeneutics be used as an analytical method?
  • Understanding the social dimension of reflexive methodology
  • “HyperRESEARCH" as a tool for analysis. Introduction and Workshop.  

HyperRESEARCH is a cross-platform qualitative analysis software that enables users to code and retrieve, build theories and conduct analyses of data.  HyperRESEARCH allows users to work with text, graphics, audio and video sources.

 

Please see the Programme and Book of Abstract for more information. 

 

PS! There will be a Viva Voce Examination before lunch Tuesday 25 (with the trial lecture in the afternoon Monday 24). You are all welcome to attend these events as well!

 

Candidate work and presentations

The course will also focus on candidate work, and Ph.D. candidates, artistic research fellows and ‘førstelektor’ candidates are invited to give presentations. Senior researchers and supervisors are particularly welcome to attend the course and may give presentations if space in the programme. Master students are also welcome to participate.

 

Peer feedback on presentations
