Qualitative Data Analysis Intensive

Come and experience the Digital Humanities at Berkeley Summer Institute through the Qualitative Data Analysis intensive offered by D-Lab instructor Zawadi Rucks Ahidiana. Stay for the daily lectures, food, and conversation. Your participation in other events besides the workshop is strongly recommended so that you get the full experience of our vibrant community, post-docs, fellow students, and faculty.  Please note that participants from the humanities will be given preferential enrollment if space runs out.

This workshop covers the basics of the analysis process with qualitative data, such as archival documents, media coverage, and interviews. Building on the approaches of social science, the workshops provide an overview of what tools and methods humanists might borrow from qualitative social scientists and how to do so. Workshop participants will learn how to use MaxQDA, a qualitative data analysis software package that offers analytical tools for content analysis (also called text analysis), discourse analysis (also called thematic analysis), and data visualization. The series includes the following workshops:

• Social science v. humanist uses of qualitative data 
• What is qualitative data analysis?
