It is vital for the success of an empirical research project that the research question(s), methodological approach and data analysis are well-concerted in order to ensure a compelling overall research process. This workshop aims to provide the opportunity to critically discuss relevant issues in light of the participants‘ own dissertation projects. Please note that there will be no discussion on general issues of methodological importance!

Intended Learning Outcomes

You are able to

  • narrow down your specific research question so that it becomes manageable within your planned empirical study (presentation and discussion),
  • decide what kind of empirical data you need and which methodological approaches are likely to generate the required data (lecture and case examples),
  • judge the adequacy of your research tools (e.g. questionnaire, interview guide) and know how the relevant theoretical concepts can be operationalized (group discussions),
  • decide which methodological approaches are appropriate for the analysis of your data (sketching an outline of the methodological rationale),
  • understand basic principles of analysis required for your corpus of data (presentations).

Requirements

You should be well advanced in defining the specific purpose of your research. Please submit a research abstract to no later than two weeks before the workshop.
Please note that this is not an English language course. Proficiency in English at the B2 level of competency is required.
