Introduces graduate students to qualitative methods in Child and Family Studies and related disciplines. Students will examine historical roots, epistemological perspectives, and ethical issues in qualitative research. Additionally, students will focus on the set of methodological techniques that are needed when researchers create and conduct qualitative research studies, especially those typically used for conducting research in child and family studies. We will explore participant observation, interviewing, and focus group strategies with specific content focused on children, adults, and families.
