7. "Turns" in qualitative research

Drawing on the experiences from the previous weeks, we will explore limitations of research and how these may be counteracted. We will look at historical developments in qualitative research that have led to the linguistic turn, the narrative turn, the reflexive turn and the creative turn. We will also consider the impact of such turns on conceptualizations of data collection, data analysis and dissemination. We will further reflect on what constitutes "good quality" in qualitative research.

By the end of this component you will:

- Understand the provisional nature of knowledge and research
- Know some alternative and/or complementary approaches to data collection
- Understand how to evaluate qualitative research
