Knowledge of different digital qualitative methodological approaches such as scroll backs and qualitative GIS

The course explores qualitative digital research methods, including qualitative GIS and scroll backs. The participants will learn to collect, analyse and interpret qualitative data via numerous digital mediums. Emphasis will be applied to the collective subjective data in a digital world and we will also discuss the benefits and limitations of digital methods, as well as research ethics. 

The course includes introductory lectures and practical hands-on workshops on selected methods and tools that can be experimented with without coding skills. The practicals and assessment will help the participants to explore the potential method combinations for their own research topics.
