This one-day workshop will consider the practical implications
in obtaining ethical approval for undertaking qualitative research
in the social sciences. It is increasingly the case that any field-based
research conducted within the social sciences must seek ethical
approval for from a variety of different perspectives, including
university ethics committees, NHS ethics panels, and other profession-based
ethics or regulatory bodies. The nature of qualitative research
can make this process extremely difficult and time-consuming.
This workshop will provide practical assistance in negotiating
this process by giving advice and assistance to social science
researchers. Those attending will be encouraged to actively participate
in a number of interactive problem solving tasks. The workshop
will provide an excellent opportunity for qualitative researchers
to share their experiences and raise ethical issues of importance,
contributing to debate on ethical approval procedures. The workshop
will be of particular interest to early career researchers and
qualitative researchers relatively new to ethics committees. Members
of ethics committees, concerned about this process, and who would
like to obtain more practical knowledge about managing the relationship
between qualitative research and ethics approval may also find
the workshop of interest.

This is a two-day workshop that will encompass the collection
and analysis of multiple modes of qualitative research data. Primarily
based on the combined use of textual, visual and audio data this
workshop will give participants practical insights in to the advantages
and disadvantages of different modes of qualitative data. Participants
will have the opportunity to collect and analyse their own multi-modal
qualitative data. The workshop will give participants the opportunity
to experiment with different kinds of qualitative data and to
consider how they might be combined, both practically and theoretically.
The workshop will also consider the dissemination of multi-modal
qualitative data, by presenting and discussing how this can be
done.

Drawing upon a successful interdisciplinary seminar on the use
of new technologies in qualitative research in April 2006 this
workshop will provide hands-on practical experiences in using
different technologies and equipment for the collection of qualitative
data. Primarily focussed on the collection of visual and audio
data this workshop will consider a variety of different aspects
of the research process, including the capture, archiving, storage,
sharing and cost of using different equipment. Although the focus
of the workshop is on the collection of qualitative data some
attention will be given to the use of new technology in analysing
and representing qualitative data
