TIME: 10-12am.
On the occasion of the publication of her latest book, ‘Listening to People: A Practical Guide to Interviewing, Participant Observation, Data Analysis and Writing it All Up’, Prof. Anette Lareau (University of Pennsylvania) will host a 1-day masterclass dedicated to the craft of interviewing and participant observation.
The masterclass is open to both junior and senior researchers and will consist of two parts. In the plenary morning-session, Prof. Lareau will conduct a “live-interview” during which she provides concrete guidelines on preparing, conducting and analyzing interview-data. The morning session is open to the public (free of charge) but places are limited and participants have to register beforehand at info@eucci.eu.
The afternoon has been reserved for a limited number of doctoral students who use interviewing or participant observation in their own research. IMPORTANT: Places for this session have already been filled and are no longer open for participation.
This masterclass is organised by ECCI in collaboration with the interdisciplinary research group VOICE (VUB). The masterclass will be linked to the two-day workshop Socializing Inequality.
