From What to How; Contemporary Narrative Methodology in Health Care Research (4.0 credits)

About the course

The course is given over one semester with course meetings in the form of workshops. Participation is mandatory at workshops. In case of absence students will be given additional assignments. The workshops will consist of lectures, seminars, and study groups with supervision. Between workshops, students will collaborate with help of the IT based learning platform Canvas.

Students will participate in study groups depending on the form of the narrative analyses they choose to practice. This training format targets the learning needs of each student. Students will use their own data material and be supervised by an expert in the most suitable narrative methodology in the study groups. Furthermore, the course is based on process writing where the students continuously work with shorter assignments while providing feedback on each other's work.

The course begins with a homework assignment that is to be handed in before the first session. 

If you have questions regarding the course please contact the course leader (see contact information further down).
