Update from Qualitative Methods workshop
The PSA Parliaments Group held a workshop on qualitative methods at the University of Liverpool on Wednesday 19 July. Read on for a report of the day.
On Wednesday 19th July 2017 we are holding a qualitative methods workshop at Liverpool University. The workshop will explore a wide range of research in this area including the use of parliamentary debates, elite interviews and focus groups, legislative texts and computer aided analysis. It is a great opportunity to learn more about using these techniques as well as some top tips if you are working on this type of research yourself. As always, there will be plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion.
