Qualitative Research Methods

In no more than 8 double-spaced pages:

1. Discuss the fundamental epistemological assumptions of qualitative research.

2. How might one assess quality in qualitative research?

3. Document some of your ideas about “science” which are challenged in a post-modern, hermeneutic frame. What implications might this have for the practice of qualitative inquiry?

4. Read and summarize two empirical qualitative research articles of your choice and critique them as a contribution to psychology. (You may use any empirical article published in Qualitative Psychology or email me to have other articles approved). In response to this question, please attend to the epistemological assumptions and the persuasiveness of the article rather than its content – and refer to the principles above.
