Q: a knowledge center devoted to qualitative research

Q: a knowledge center devoted to qualitative research

The Q site is an iSite that covers the philosophy, theory, methods, and practice of qualitative research. The highly customized iSite includes video of faculty who teach qualitative methods, original content, and links to resources inside and beyond the Harvard community. This site builds connections across courses and contributes to a shared vision of what it means to do qualitative research at HGSE.

 

Teaching Challenge:

With such a wide array of qualitative epistemologies and approaches to research at HGSE, integrating perspectives can be a challenge. Since qualitative courses do not fit a linear progression, connections across methods are not always as apparent as they could be.
