Tue Jun 15 11:36:40 GMT 2010


>Winter Schule: Öffentlichkeitsforschung - 
>Methoden für Inhalts- und Diskursanalyse
>16.11.10-20.11.10
>FU Berlin, Germany
>
>The Method School's aim is to highlight the 
>state of the art in the field and discuss which 
>research questions can be tackled by which 
>computer-aided content and discourse analysis. 
>Large-n content analyses have become popular, as 
>content data is now accessible in digital 
>format. Some of the new approaches go beyond 
>counting single terms in documents, and seek to 
>understand the structure and the context of the 
>content analysed. Several approaches have 
>entered the stage at which it becomes possible 
>to combine quantitative and computer-aided 
>qualitative coding. The Method School will, 
>therefore, offer an introduction into some of 
>the most widely used software packages in the 
>field, but also introduce the basics of content and discourse analysis.
>
>Besides introductions by experienced lecturers, 
>the programme includes intensive group work, 
>practical sessions using traditional and new 
>computer software and possibilities for students 
>to bring in their own research ideas and 
>approaches. Some common social activities in the 
>beautiful city of Berlin will round off the programme.
>
>The Winter Method School is particularly 
>designed for early doctoral students (first two 
>years) with a research interest in the public 
>sphere and no or limited prior knowledge in the 
>field of content and discourse analysis. In 
>exceptional cases, graduate students will be 
>accepted if they can demonstrate a profound 
>interest in these research methods and have 
>plans to use them in their PhD studies.  All 
>applicants should be fluent in English.
>
>Places available: 20
