Giampietro Gobo
Stretching, expanding, diluting and (finally) emptying the Qualitative. Worries and wayouts
The re-emergence of mixed methods (as a reaction to claims of incompatibility between quantitative and qualitative methods – see Howe 1988 and Brannen 1992) has led to some confusion about what a qualitative method and qualitative research are or should be. This was also caused by the quantitative imprinting that mixed methods have had since their revitalization in the late 1980s. Hence, from the 1990s the term ‘qualitative’ has been stretched and expanded, with a consequent dilution of its original meaning into a multitude of concepts to such an extent that it encompasses almost everything. Now ‘qualitative’ has become an abused buzz-word (Smythe 2005), “a ‘catch-all’ for non-positivist inquiry” (Giddings 2006: 199), quitting a more subtle and sharper exploration of the diverse epistemological and methodological problems of doing research. Hereafter, the stretching of the term ‘qualitative’ has left unsolved most of the traditional epistemological and methodological problems. In fact, worries about how mixed methods researchers treated qualitative methods have been expressed by Howe (2004), Morse (2005), Denzin and Lincoln (2005), Giddings (2006). The author will present some proposals for a way out of this messy situation.
Giampietro Gobo, Professor of Methodology of Social Research and Sociology of Science at the University of Milan (Italy), was one of the founders of the ‘Qualitative Methods’ Research Network of the European Sociological Association. His interests concern with the scientific controversies on health issues and workplace studies. He is currently undertaking projects on the immunization and covid-19 policies, and ethnographic experiments in the area of cooperation in small teamwork. His books include Doing Ethnography (Sage, 2008), Qualitative Research Practice (co-edited with C. Seale, J. F. Gubrium and D. Silverman, Sage, 2004), Constructing Survey Data: An Interactional Approach (with S. Mauceri, Sage, 2014), Merged Methods: A Rationale for Full Integration (with Nigel Fielding, Gevisa La Rocca and Wander van der Vaar, London: Sage, 2021) and Science, Technology and Society: An Introduction (with Valentina Marcheselli, London: Palgrave Macmillan 2022).

Designing Ethnographies of Arts and Music
1400-1555 CEST
Marie Buscatto
Ethnography is mainly defined as a long-term physical and/or virtual observation personally conducted in situ by the researcher(s). As an inductive and fundamentally subjective method, ethnography can definitely not follow the positivist scientific model. But it does not mean one cannot plan and conduct ethnographic studies scientifically.
Based on my own experience as an ethnographer, this workshop will present ways one may design a rigorous, grounded and valid ethnographic study of arts and music – and of any other topic of research. How is reflexivity to enable ethnographers to develop sound, systematic and rigorous results over time? How does an ethnographer define one’s study topics and questions of research before entering the field? How does she enter and remain in the field over time? How does it affect one’s results? How does he conduct observations in rigorous ways? When does one decide to stop one’s observations? Which techniques does an ethnographer use to analyze collected data rigorously?
As a full part of the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions linked to their own past, current or planned ethnographic studies of arts and music (or any other topic if adequate) and to collectively discuss ways to deal with the issues this experience may raise (or have raised in the past).

Qualitative Research with MAXQDA
1700-1855 CEST
Michael C Gizzi
This workshop offers you an overview of qualitative research and data analysis processes and provides basic practical features of MAXQDA and tips that can serve well for your needs in doing qualitative research. The session will start with a brief overview of qualitative research and data analysis processes followed by a MAXQDA demonstration and a Q&A session. During the session, we will have activities for attendees to apply their learning into practice. Therefore, please consider downloading MAXQDA on your computer before the session if you are interested in following along the activities. Anyone interested in learning how to use MAXQDA is welcome!
| Dr. Michael C Gizzi is a professor of criminal justice and political scientist at Illinois State University in Normal, IL. He is a Certified Trainer for MAXQDA and co-editor of The Practice of Qualitative Data Analysis: Research Examples Using MAXQDA with Dr. Stefan Rädiker (MAXQDA Press, 2021). Gizzi offers weekly webinars on qualitative data analysis, and does research using qualitative and mixed methods research on American legal issues, and is currently conducting an analysis of 6000 tweets from the U.S. Center for Disease Control exploring messaging consistencies during the pandemic. |
Focus Groups
1400-1555 CEST
Guendalina Graffigna
The aim of this workshop is to introduce to the different strategies of group discussion (i.e. focus group, co-creation group, group interview). Election criteria and research design eligible for the different group discussion strategies will be presented and discussed. Moreover, the main tips and rules for effectively moderating a focus group will be described. Students will be involved in a role playing to experience different techniques of focus group moderation. The workshop is conceived as highly interactive and practical and participants will have the opportunity to get direct supervision on their focus group project.
