Please forward to graduate students who may be interested. The following courses which count toward the Graduate Certificate in Qualitative Research Methods will be offered in summer and fall 2010 (http://web.utk.edu/~edpsych/gradcert_qualresearch.html) *** Higher Education Administration 617: Case Study Methods in Educational Research (Summer Session I, Mondays and Wednesdays, 4:45 to 8:50 pm) This course will provide a comprehensive overview of case study as a qualitative research methodology. Questions that we will consider in the course include: What is case study research? What are the different ways case study research is conceptualized? How do epistemology and theory shape the application of case study? Although we will spend some time in class discussing the various methods that might be used in case study research, the focus of the course will be on the methodology. Accordingly, some knowledge of qualitative research methods is assumed. The goal of the course is for each student to produce a proposal for a project that uses case study as a methodology. For more information, please e-mail Dr. Margaret Sallee at [log in to unmask] *** Educational Psychology 631 (formerly EP531): Discourse Analysis in Educational Environments (Fall 2010, Thursdays, 5:05-7:45 pm) Provides an introduction to the broad area of discourse analysis as an approach for understanding naturally occurring language use, particularly in the context of teaching and learning. Covers both the underlying philosophy and specific methods for collecting and analyzing written and spoken discourse. For more information, please e-mail Dr. Trena Paulus at [log in to unmask] *** Cultural Studies in Education 660: Ethnographic Methods in Education (Wednesdays from 12:05pm - 2:45pm; Fall 2010 and Spring 2011) This new, year-long, six credit course is designed to introduce graduate students to the history, context, and practice of ethnography. In ethnography you will study and practice ethnography. We will explore ways to research everyday practices and lived experiences as they are shaped by historical, cultural, political, and social contexts. The course will begin with a brief overview of the history of ethnographic approaches within anthropology, cultural studies and education. We engage then in an array of ethnographic approaches and finally work to support the development and practice of your original ethnographic work. If you are interested in activist ethnography, auto-ethnography, critical ethnography, indigenous ethnography, performance ethnography, postcritical ethnography, sensory ethnography, or visual ethnography, please join us.
