About

The Secret Life of Research Interviewing (SLoRI) course offered by University of Oxford is for postgraduate students and early career researchers who wish to gain an understanding of the theoretical, practical and ethical practices an empirical researcher adopts when interviewing participants. 

Overview

What you will study

During the first week of The Secret Life of Research Interviewing (SLoRI) course offered by University of Oxford you will be introduced to interviews as an empirical method of data collection, through an introductory theoretical, ethical and practical lens.

The following sessions will continue to focus on the minutiae of what is involved in data gathering, transcribing, analysing and dissemination of findings. Each of these sessions will be underpinned through various contextualised situations (eg interviewing migrants, elites and adult careers).

In the final week you will then reflect on what you have learnt and how this has/will inform your practices through a 15-minute presentation.

To support the development of these individualised developing research skills, there will be a variety of interactive activities (both synchronous and asynchronous) throughout the eight weeks.

In addition to the weekly units, the lead tutor will offer a number of one-to-one tutorials for those who are collating a cumulative reflective portfolio of work on completion of the course (up to one month after the course end date).
