Podcasts about qualitative methods

This is a special episode that features a conversation between Sonia Bussu and Hans Asenbaum on democracy, capitalism, climate and the practices and prospects of participatory, deliberative and more-than-human democracy to transform their relationship. Can we rethink democracy beyond the liberal-democratic institutions that were created as part of the bargain for fossil-fuel-driven, Western-centric economic growth? What does and could democratic participation look like? What does it mean to include the non-human in our understanding of democracy? Sonia Bussu is Associate Professor in Public Policy at the University of Birmingham. She researches participatory democracy and in her work she uses participatory and creative methods for research and public engagement. She has led on projects on youth participation to influence mental health policy, youth employment policies, as well as coproduction of research on health and social care integration, and leadership styles within collaborative governance. She is scientific coordinator of a Horizon Europe project on participatory policymaking, INSPIRE. She is co-editor of Reclaiming Participatory Governance: Social Movements and the Reinvention of Democratic Innovation. Routledge. Hans Asenbaum is a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Deliberative Democracy and Global Governance at the University of Canberra.

While we often like to talk about research findings that shows us statistical significance in data and solid numbers we can lean on for treatment approaches… What about the kind of data that ISN'T objectively measured? The kind that shows us what patients or other clinicians experience think, or believe. I'm talking about qualitative research! Is qualitative research viewed as “less reputable” than quantitative research? What kind of valuable information can we pull from patient experiences, opinions, and views? Beatrice Manduchi PhD, MSc, BSc (SLP) is here to talk all about it in today's episode of the Swallow Your Pride podcast! Beatrice is a speech-language pathologist who went from clinician to researcher and is currently working as a postdoc fellow at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Beatrice specializes in dysphagia, particularly in head and neck cancer. Tune into this episode to take a break from numerical data and explore the world of qualitative research and its impact on dysphagia!

Hello everyone and welcome to qualitative conversations, a podcast series hosted by the qualitative research special interest group of the American Educational Research Association. I am Jori Hall, a professor in the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I also serve as the chair of the Egon Guba Award for Outstanding Contributions to Qualitative Research for the Qualitative Research Special Interest Group. I am beyond excited today to be joined by Dr. Giovanni Dazzo who was the recipient of the 2023 QRSIG Outstanding Dissertation Award for his dissertation titled Restorative validity: Exploring how critical participatory inquiry can promote peace, justice and healing. Giovanni is an interdisciplinary researcher, and evaluator and assistant professor at the University of Georgia. His work is focused on critical theoretical approaches to research and evaluation methodologies. In particular, he is interested in exploring the intersections of validity and ethics within critical participatory forms of inquiry, and the ways in which research and social policies can better be informed by communities. His work has been featured in a multitude of peer reviewed journals, such as the International Journal of Qualitative Methods, Educational Action Research, Cultural Studies ⇔ Critical Methodologies, and Conflict Resolution Quarterly. Giovanni is also the co-author of the recently published textbook by Sage called Critical Participatory Inquiry: An Interdisciplinary Guide. Giovanni, it is a pleasure to have you with us today.Thank you, Jori. It's a pleasure to be here. You make me sound so good.Well, it's easy based on all the fabulous things you've done. Are you ready to get started? Giovanni?Yeah, let's get started.Great. So I was thinking that our audience would greatly appreciate learning more about your dissertation work. Can you just talk a little bit about your dissertation, maybe about its scope?Yeah, so the dissertation really focused on a long term critical participatory action research project in Guatemala. And I partnered with an organization that conducts forensic anthropology. It's the forensic anthropology foundation of Guatemala. So essentially, in their day to day, they investigate possible made mass grave sites that resulted from the country's 36 year armed conflict, which happened from 1960 to 1996. And then they work closely with communities who witnessed and experienced those atrocities to document the stories of those who are forcibly disappeared by the government. And they then extract DNA from living family members exhumed human remains from mass grave sites, and then attempt to match the DNA so they can identify those who were disappeared. So I worked alongside the forensic anthropology foundation of Guatemala or FAFG. And Kaqchikel speaking my community to see how we could all together as a research collective, explore how the research process could be made more restorative.And really, if you start to think about it, the work of FAFG is literally extractive to communities. They're pulling DNA from swamps, they're digging into the earth, and they're hoping to produce a match. Unfortunately, the success rate at the moment is just 14%. Because these human remains have been in the ground anywhere between 28 to 64 years.And those who witnessed the atrocities happen.They continue to pass away as time goes by. So we really sought to form the basis for this conceptual methodological framework called restorative validity. Truthfully, I stopped calling it a framework, because journal reviewers kept asking, is it a theoretical framework, a conceptual framework, a methodological framework so I started calling it what it is, and it's an agenda. It's a call to action. And we really wanted to explore and understand the factors that aid or impede

As anyone with chronic disease knows, access to health care doesn't always equate with equitable health care outcomes, says guest Alyce Adams, an expert in innovations in health policy. Too often, care delivery breaks down along racial and socioeconomic lines. Our focus should be on better outcomes for all people, she says. Adams now develops interventions to help communities and health systems improve care delivery — and health equity — as she tells host Russ Altman in this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Chapters:(00:00:00) IntroductionHost Russ Altman introduces the episode and welcomes Professor Alyce Adams from Stanford University to discuss how new approaches in communities and health systems are improving care delivery for traditionally underserved populations.(00:01:29) Unraveling Health DisparitiesThey discuss the disparities present in healthcare, particularly among underrepresented populations, and the importance of integrating patient voices in research.(00:02:42) Addressing Socioeconomic FactorsThe role of socioeconomic factors in health disparities and how they influence access to quality care. The discussion also examines efforts to eliminate barriers and provide equitable healthcare.(00:04:15) Cultural Competence in MedicineThe conversation shifts to the significance of cultural competence in healthcare delivery. Prof. Adams explains the need for healthcare professionals to understand and respect diverse cultural backgrounds to ensure effective patient care.(00:07:50) Bridging the Knowledge GapInsights into understanding patient knowledge and disease understanding, focusing on the example of tobacco use. The efforts to integrate patient and caregiver perspectives early in the research process are discussed.(00:09:15) Empowering Patient Decision-Making The discussion explores strategies to empower patients in their healthcare decisions. Prof. Adams explains the importance of personalized care plans that align with patient values and priorities.(00:11:30) Digital Health Literacy The increasing role of digital health tools and the importance of health literacy in utilizing these technologies effectively. The challenges of ensuring equitable access to digital health resources are also addressed.(00:15:10) Qualitative Methods in ResearchInsights into qualitative research methods and their significance in understanding patient experiences and priorities. The need for collaboration with community partners to shape research questions is emphasized.(00:17:05) The Power of Patient Stories The conversation discusses the impact of patient narratives in healthcare research. Prof. Adams explains how patient stories provide valuable context and humanize data, leading to more comprehensive and patient-centric research outcomes.(00:20:30) Building Patient-Centric Algorithms  The development of AI algorithms to assess patient risk and facilitate decision-making for clinicians.

Dr. Jamie Imada, who recently completed his PhD at the Ontario Veterinary College joins the OAHN bovine network to discuss his thesis, A Holistic Investigation of Johne's Disease Control on Ontario Dairy Farms through Quantitative and Qualitative Methods. Dr. Imada discusses the results of follow up risk assessment and management plans (RAMPs) on 180 Ontario dairy farms and the changes in management practices on study farms since the end of the Ontario Johne's Education and Management Assistance Program in 2013, the current prevalence of Johne's Disease (JD) in Ontario, and the motivations and barriers of producers with regards to JD control and farm biosecurity.

How to support qualitative researchers whose work addresses challenging, difficult and sensitive topics? In this episode, I feature a paper by Silverio and colleagues who brought awareness to the little attention that has been given to how we keep researchers safe. By documenting their experiences, they offer practical principles to promote wellbeing of researchers working with challenging, difficult and sensitive topics.   Full citation: Silverio, S.

How do American child welfare and obstetric healthcare converge? Matty Lichtenstein, a recent PhD from Berkeley's Sociology Department, studies how state and professional organizations shape social and health inequalities in maternal and child welfare. Her current book project focuses on evolving conceptions of risk in social work and medicine, illustrated by a study of the intertwined development of American child and perinatal protective policies. She is working on several collaborations related to this theme, including studies of maltreatment-related fatality rates, the racialization of medical reporting of substance exposed infants, and risk assessment in child welfare. In another stream of research, she has written on social policy change, with a focus on educational regulation and political advocacy, and she has conducted research on culture, religion, and politics. Dr. Lichtenstein's work has been published in American Journal of Sociology, Qualitative Methods, and Sociological Methods and Research. She is currently a postdoctoral research associate at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University. In this interview, Matrix content curator Julia Sizek asks Lichtenstein about her research on the transformation of American child welfare and the impact of that transformation on contemporary maternal and infant health practices.

Dr Marnie Howlett presents an engaging and thought-provoking look at the cartographical causes and consequences of the war. She looks at Ukraine's position between East and West and the implications of its long history of shifting borders with Russia. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, much attention within political and military circles has been devoted to examining the origins of the seemingly unexpected war. However, these analyses have primarily explored the foreign policy objectives of Russia and the motivations of its president. This talk will instead consider the cartographical causes and consequences of the conflict. In drawing on cartographical material gathered through ethnographic fieldwork in three Ukrainian regions between 2018-2022, this talk will show how the war is connected to Ukraine's position between the East and West. In particular, the ways its borderland status has been utilised throughout history by both neighbouring Russia and the European Union will be considered, especially how it has complicated processes of state- and nation-building since the state's independence in 1991. Finally, the talk will argue for the importance of realising the nuances at the grassroots in Ukraine for understanding both the Russia-Ukraine war and the future direction of the country. Dr Marnie Howlett is a Departmental Lecturer in Politics (Qualitative Methods) in the Department of Politics and International Relations (DPIR) at the University of Oxford. She holds a PhD in International Relations from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), as well as a BA (High Honours) in International Studies and MA in Political Science from the University of Saskatchewan. Dr Howlett's research centres on the intersection of cartography, nationalism, and geopolitics within the former Soviet Union, particularly Ukraine. Her interests also include research ethics, and the use of visual and spatial methods for political science research. Dr Howlett currently teaches on the postgraduate Qualitative Methods in Political Science, Research Design in Comparative Political Science, and Comparative Political Science courses in the DPIR. She is also working on a book monograph, Imagined Borderlands, which explores the intersection and overlap of imagined and territorial cartographies to better explain contemporary nationalism and politics in Ukraine. Her research has appeared in The Conversation and on media channels in Canada, the UK, Europe, and Asia. Prior to pursuing her PhD, Dr Howlett served as a legislative intern and policy analyst with the Saskatchewan Legislature in Regina, Canada. She has volunteered extensively in Canada and Ukraine with the non-governmental organisation, Help Us Help The Children, which works with Ukrainian orphans and families of war. Dr Howlett also served as an international electoral observer on three missions with CANADEM during Ukraine's presidential and parliamentary elections in 2019.

Dr. Suraj Uttamchandani is a visiting research scientist at the Indiana University Center for Research on Learning and Technology. In today's episode, we'll discuss his experience as an undergraduate mathematics major and how policies in the United States like Religious Freedom Restoration Act directly informed his scholarship, which is at the intersection of educational equity, the learning sciences, and critical qualitative methodologies. In our conversation, we talk about educational intimacy – a construct that came out of his dissertation, as he was trying to put a finger on the forms of the learning that were happening in an LGBTQ+ youth group. We talk about his participation as a volunteer in the group, and how his methodological training within and outside of the learning sciences prepared him to take on this work. He is currently exploring non-Western orientations to learning and development with the South Asian learning sciences Research collective. What I found most compelling in this conversation with Suraj is the invitational nature of his work, and the connections between his lived experiences and how he goes about his research. We also talk about the revisionist nature of learning – how what we put down on paper is just a mere capture of our current thinking, and how taking a retrospective lens to our own work helps us see how we've moved forward or deepened our initial ideas. I hope you enjoy this episode and look forward to your reactions and responses to our conversation. As always, email us with your comments, questions. Our email is HumansLSpod@gmail.com.

In this podcast episode, we discuss health research on improving patient-centered care using implementation science with qualitative methods with Dr. Shimrit Keddem, Co-Director at the Qualitative Methods Core Center for Health Equity Research & Promotion, part of the Department of Veterans Affairs and Researcher in the Department of Family Medicine & Community Health at the University of Pennsylvania.

How should we teach about politics? How – if at all – should teaching politics be different from teaching hard sciences, such as physics, or arts and humanities subjects, such as History or English, or indeed other social sciences, such as Economics or Sociology? The territory of politics is inherently contested, so should we embrace that contestation in our teaching or should we stick to known facts?These and many other questions are explored by a new centre within the UCL Department of Political Science called the UCL Centre for the Pedagogy of Politics. And we are delighted to be joined by two of its founders and Co-Directors in this episode.Dr Cathy Elliott is Associate Professor (Teaching) in Qualitative Methods and the Politics of Nature in the UCL Department of Political Science, as well as our Graduate Tutor.And Dr J-P Salter is Lecturer (Teaching) in Public Policy – again, in the UCL Department of Political Science – and also our Deputy Director of EducationMentioned in this episode:Poverty at the UCL Art Museum: Situated Learning in a World of ImagesUCL Centre for the Pedagogy of Politics twitter account

In this week's episode, we have a discussion with Dr. Marnie Howlett - a Departmental Lecturer in Politics and Qualitative Methods in the Department of Politics and International Relations at Oxford University. We will be talking about her doctoral thesis dissertation titled “Re-Envisioning Nationalism from the Borderlands of a Borderland: An analysis of post-Soviet Ukraine," along with many, many other things including what is everyday nationalism, what role does foreign agency play and the importance of spacial dimensions. Plus, we get to talk about where exactly do we come from - is it important to have the passport or the cultural heritage? Plus, Marnie will let you know which cities are great to visit in Ukraine!

Welcome to another episode of The Words Matter Podcast.Again, I want to start by thanking all of you that are supporting the podcast via Patreon – its hugely appreciated and keeps the episodes flowing.So we have reached episode 6 of the qualitative series, flying high above the different methodologies and occasionally landing to get a deeper sense of their philosophies, theories and methods.Today I am excited to speak with not just one, but two phenomenologists to give us a really rich view of  phenomenology and its application to qualitative research.Kathleen Galvin is Professor of Nursing Practice at the University of Brighton in the UK. Her research spans phenomenology, philosophy, qualitative research, the arts and humanities in health and action research. Her current research programme explores peoples' experiences of a range of health issues, and using phenomenological-oriented philosophy develop novel theoretical framework for caring practices. This includes contributions to new theoretical perspectives on well-being, suffering and humanising approaches to human services.Dr Pirjo Vuoskoski is a Senior Lecturer in Health Sciences (Physiotherapy Teacher Education) at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland. She teaches and conducts research in the intersecting areas of qualitative research and phenomenology, and physiotherapy. Pirijo is particularly interested in experiential phenomena and phenomenological contributions in regard to learning, teaching and assessment, in physiotherapy, educational and healthcare contexts. Methodologically, her particular interest is applied Husserlian (descriptive, pre-transcendental) phenomenology. She is currently working on phenomenological research that attends to the lived experiences of peer learning and mentoring, and practice-based assessment.Alongside Prof. Kathleen Galvin and Dr Kitty Suddick, Pirjo will shortly be co-editing a special edition in the International Journal of Qualitative Methods that draws upon and honours the foundational contribution of philosophical thinking to a range of diverse phenomenological research perspectives.So in this episode we speak about: Phenomenology as both a philosophical theory, method and also a qualitative research methodology. About the farther of phenomenology Edmund Husserl and distinguish between his epistemological project and the ontological approach offered by his student Martin Heidegger. Kate and Pirijo share their views on the different respective phenomenological qualitative research approaches, namely hermeneutic and descriptive; using Dr Kitty Suddick's PhD research as an example of hermeneutic and Pirijo's PhD work as an example of descriptive phenomenological qualitative research.  The idea of the ‘lifeworld' in relation to phenomenological research (see paper on lifeworld research by Karen Dalhberg here and her paper on the phenomenon of loneliness here). What makes phenomenological research phenomenological (see paper here). How phenomenology, when used a as a framework for qualitative enquiry informs the methods such as data generation, sampling and data analysis. The concept and practice of ‘bracketing' in phenomenological qualitative research. Finally, Kate and Pirijo offer some helpful advice about both embarking on phenomenological research but also incorporating phenomenology into practice (Kate recommends a book by Fred Wertz 'Five ways of doing qualitative analysis here) So this was an absolute treat. To witness two experienced interlocutors share their deep knowledge of phenomenology was such an experience. The conversation begins by digging quite deep into some of the rich philosophy of phenomenology, but surfaces again mid way to locate these important ideas to the practice of qualitative research.Find Pirijo on Twitter @h_pirjo You can support the show and contribute via Patreon hereIf you liked the podcast, you'll love The Words Matter online course and mentoring to develop your clinical expertise  - ideal for all MSK therapists.Follow Words Matter on:Instagram @Wordsmatter_education @TheWordsMatterPodcastTwitter @WordsClinicalFacebook Words Matter - Improving Clinical Communication★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Sometimes, it's just important to define ideas. In this episode, Adam, and Joe talk about some of the key definitions, principles, and differences between Community Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) and other types of Action Research. The conversation opens with a “mini-lecture” from Joe where he talks about action research, participatory action research and CBPAR (1:55). Talking about these concepts theoretically shows some interesting and important differences between these different kinds of action research. However, when Adam and Joe start talking about the practicality of these paradigms they uncover the messiness that action researchers face. The conversation gets deeper as Adam and Joe discuss their experiences in the field and how to overcome the complexity of Action Research in action (and CBPAR in particular) (14:52). The conversation wraps up with some hard-hitting questions such as, what makes for quality action research or participatory action research or community-based participatory action research? (44:56). Who is that knowledge being disseminated to and why? (49:32). These are just the highlights, tune-in to know more!

In this episode, Matthew talks through four studies that use a qualitative method. One study uses content analysis and interviews, another relies on a case study, one uses participant observation and one uses unstructured interviews. If you are looking for more studies to refer to in your essays then this should be of use to you.

This episode discusses qualitative research methods.

Summary Video conferencing has rapidly increased in popularity, but the cognitive and attentional load can make it exhausting. In this week’s Leadership Today podcast we look at five ways to stop Zoom killing your focus.    Transcript Hello and welcome to episode 92 of the Leadership Today podcast where each week we tackle one of today’s biggest leadership challenges. This week we look at five ways to stop Zoom killing your focus.  Zoom and other video conferencing services have seen a rapid rise in popularity. People have flocked to video conferencing as the next best thing to a face-to-face meeting, particularly when trying to build social connection. During a global pandemic, video conferencing has proven to be a lifesaver for many people forced to work from home. It’s a testament to the quality of Zoom that the brand name is now synonymous with web-based video conferencing. We are becoming increasingly dependent on access to Zoom, as evidenced by a recent outage that disrupted millions of people including online schooling and businesses.  And Zoom isn’t just a back up for when we can’t be face-to-face. Research conducted last year showed Zoom was rated positively for qualitative data collection in health care interviews, coming in ahead of face-to-face, phone and other video conferencing options when they factored efficiency into the equation. Amidst all of that success and celebration there are recurring and largely anecdotal concerns emerging about the impact of video conferencing on our attention and energy levels. People report feeling drained and exhausted at the end of a full day of Zoom calls. It’s too early for there to be specific research about why this might be the case, but the field of attention research gives us some clues to why Zoom is killing our ability to focus. Let’s face it, weird things happen on Zoom calls that would never happen in a ‘real’ meeting. We see people fixing their hair as they stare at themselves. People keep looking away from the camera to a second screen so you end up having a conversation with their ear. People eating anything looks disgusting - seriously, stop eating while using Zoom. We see people talking but no words are coming out - you’re on mute! Surprise people and their pets appear out of nowhere. People keep trying to talk at the same time which leads to a flurry of “no, no, you go first”. As we look behind people it feels like we are in a dozen different rooms at once. And, while we’re talking backgrounds, why not include an even more distracting virtual background? Sure, you’re on a beach, or drifting through space. In a sign of just how confused we are, we even feel the need to wave goodbye at the end of a Zoom call. It’s exhausting. What are the challenges of Zoom calls, or indeed most other video conferencing tools? There are three main issues: Visual distractions. We are not used to seeing ourselves in action, and it’s easy to become fixated, or at least distracted, by how we look. It’s easy for the meeting to then feel like a performance. Simultaneously seeing multiple faces is also strange. We wouldn’t normally have people lined up in a grid like the start of the Brady Bunch, but rather be attending to one or two faces at any point in time. Reseach has repeatedly demonstrated that visual distractions significantly decrease our ability to focus and increase stress. Auditory distractions. The inability for everyone to speak at once is a real issue. The small delays and “loudest person wins” nature of Zoom make auditory processing a challenge. The audio itself is of a higher quality than a typical phone call, but it still feels more draining than a landline phone call due to these artefacts.  You can’t look into someone’s eyes. I might try to fake eye contact by staring at the camera, but then I can’t see you. Thankfully, research demonstrates that people are lousy at figuring out if we’re making eye contact in real life anyway. In fact researchers found that we can’t pick the difference between someone looking into our eyes versus looking predominantly at our mouth. But on Zoom, the distance between the camera and the person’s face is larger than a real human face - the effect of not making eye contact is more pronounced. All of this leads to an increased cognitive and attentional load. We end up suffering from what researchers call continuous partial attention. So Zoom - is it worth it? That largely depends on the work and what you’re trying to achieve. If you’re after interaction, trust and engagement, it’s hard to beat face-to-face. If face-to-face is not possible, Zoom is a great backup. We just need to recognise and manage the risks. In particularly we need to minimise visual distractions - research has show that this leads to a 16% boost in performance for time-sensitive, high focus work, while also reducing stress by 18%. Reducing auditory distractions will also help.  So how do we reduce distractions and the cognitive and attentional load of Zoom calls and meetings. Here are five suggestions: Hide the self view. Check that your video feed looks okay at the start of the call, then use the menu on your own image so you can no longer see yourself. Just keep in mind that others can still see you - there’s a reason webcams have little lights on them to show when you’re on. Search Zoom call fails on YouTube for some great examples. Use the speaker view. Rather than having everyone on screen at once in equal size boxes, shift to just being able to see the speaker. I’ve found this really helps me to focus on one person at a time, rather than trying to attend to a sea of faces. Mute when not speaking. Muting yourself reduces the audio distractions for others. We need to treat a Zoom call like it’s not fully duplex, particularly as group sizes increase. Despite any claims to the contrary, the experience of multiple people trying to speak at once is far more painful on Zoom than in real life.  Make it interactive. In the field of online learning there’s a popular myth that people can’t attend to any video that’s longer than 6 minutes. There doesn’t seem to be much concrete evidence to back that up and, in fact, research shows that you can increase beyond that easily by making the video more interactive. The same principle applies to Zoom calls. Use polls, chat, breakout rooms, annotations, reactions - anything to spice things up and make it less of a presentation. Reduce the length of your meetings. Recognise the cognitive and attentional load by making meetings shorter. As a rule of thumb I reduce the length of Zoom calls by a third to what I would expect people to engage in face-to-face. And if none of that works, hey, here’s a crazy idea - why not try a phone conference call instead? Use a bit of variety and gain ideas and input from your team about how to improve things. Now I’m sure a lot of these technical issues will become smoothed out over time. Someone will figure out how to mount a camera behind a screen to mimic face-to-face, and I’m sure the audio challenges will reduced. Perhaps people will listen back at this episode in 5 years and think - well, how quaint! However, keep in mind the broader principle that focus and distractions are enemies. Anything we can do to reduce visual and auditory distractions at work are going to make a difference, whether it’s online or in an office. What have been your Zoom experiences?

For many good reasons, semi-structured interviews, focus groups, thematic analysis, and realist tales have become key tools within the qualitative researcher's methodological toolkit. In this presentation, Dr Cassandra Phoenix invites the audience to consider the extent to which they may have (inadvertently) become the only tools within their toolkit. Drawing on examples from across the social sciences, she considers how else we might collect, analyse and represent qualitative data within health research, asking what it means and involves to truly advance qualitative research methods in this field. The short video played for the audience can be seen at: https://vimeo.com/43182928. Dr Cassandra Phoenix is a Reader in the Department for Health at the University of Bath. Her research examines ageing, health and wellbeing from a critical-socio-cultural perspective. She has authored numerous publications on topics including the social and cultural dimensions of: physical activity in mid and later life; the lived experiences of chronic conditions (e.g. late onset visual impairment, vestibular disorders); and engagement with nature. Cassandra's work is supported by a range of funders including ESRC, Wellcome Trust, Leverhulme Trust, WHO and the NIHR. This talk was held as part of the Advanced Qualitative Research Methods course which is part of the Evidence-Based Health Care Programme.

In this episode, Zehra and Yecid question what we mean by being a Canadian immigrant or a Canadian citizen. We wonder what Canadian values are and how we are supposed to integrate into the system. Zehra’s research look at Turkish and Kurdish immigrants in Canada by using a photovoice approach to understand their experiences and ultimately to question what we are all doing for immigrants Cite this podcast (APA): Ortega, Y.

Dr. Deb Cohen is an expert in qualitative and mixed measured research with more than two decades of experience, half of that focused on primary care practices, clinician-patient communication, and health IT. Dr. Cohen’s work in EvidenceNOW has as an ultimate goal to really dig into the understanding of what changed and why in primary care, how much facilitation support was needed and the touches that facilitators made with the practices which finally are what really are going to make the field move forward. Dr. Cohen shares in this episode a unique perspective about primary care and its challenges and projections for the future.   Key takeaways: [:35] Dr. Deb Cohen career briefing.

Chris Zorn discusses teaching quantitative methods focussing on (a) integrating contemporary data science approaches into undergraduate instruction, and (b) using "big data" examples to generate and maintain students' interest.

Cees van der Eijk gives a talk for the Sociology seminar series. Cees van der Eijk discusses teaching quantitative methods, focussing on the need in successful methods teaching to locate methods topics in (a) the context of substantive research questions and examples, but also (b) the context of a ‘repertoire’ of methodological tools and approaches, and (c) the context of alternative ways of structuring data.
