Announcing the Qualitative Methods Workshop at UC Davis Graduate School of
Management
July 16-19, 2012 Application Deadline May 31, 2012
Instructors: Beth Bechky, Kim Elsbach, Andy Hargadon
This July we will be holding our qualitative training workshop, open to
faculty and doctoral students. This three-day workshop will provide
intensive training in basic methods of qualitative data collection,
analysis, and presentation. The course will consist of a short field-based
project to provide hands-on experience in:
1. Observation and interviewing
2. Creating field notes and drafting memos
3. Grounded theoretical analysis and developing categories from the data
4. Framing and presenting qualitative research in order to make
theoretical contributions to the literature
Our goal is not only to provide training in qualitative methods, but to work
together to develop a community of colleagues to support participants as
they go on to do their own qualitative research projects.
Last year was our first year of the Methods Workshop, and we had an
overwhelmingly positive response. Some quotes from last years attendees:
"It was an incredible learning process. . . We left with many different ways
to analyze data ."
"It was a pleasure to learn from you and your years of experience. I just
leave wanting more of that."
" It was excellent. I wish I could have done it sooner."
UC Davis is located in northern California, about 45 miles from Napa and 75
miles from San Francisco. Ranked #1 by the Financial Times in 2006, the
Organizations group at UC Davis is renowned for its concentration of
qualitative scholars. For the last decade, we have held the annual Davis
Conference on Qualitative Research on campus.
The basic cost will be $1500, with a discounted rate of $900 for doctoral
students. Attendees are expected to pay for their own travel and lodging
costs (the closest airport is Sacramento International). Applications are
due May 31, 2012.
