On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
When we think about big data, we often think in terms of quantitative datasets that can be analysed computationally to reveal patterns, trends and associations, especially relating to human behaviour and interactions. The growing availability of large qualitative datasets, through archiving and other forms of data sharing, presents new and exciting opportunities internationally for qualitative research.
This seminar introduces the breadth-and-depth method; a four-step process fusing computational techniques for exploring breadth with more conventional forms of qualitative analysis to provide depth. Working with large amounts of qualitative data enables researchers to scope out new research questions that allow for comparison and claims to generalisability while still retaining the distinctive order of knowledge about social processes that is the hallmark of rigorous qualitative research, with its integrity of attention to nuanced context and detail.
Booking is required for people outside of the Department of Social Policy and Intervention (DSPI).
DSPI Members do not need to register.
