Lectures and seminars PHSP seminar: Migration in public health research, the qualitative approach
The Doctoral Programme in Public Health Science (PHSP) welcomes all doctoral students and researchers at KI to our seminar with Sofie Bäärnhielm. The seminar will be held online via Zoom.
Migration is a global, ancient, and public phenomenon and, at the same time, local, contemporary, and personal. This multifaceted nature makes the study migrant health rewarding and difficult at the same time.
The focus of this seminar is on the qualitative approach in migration research and how qualitative methods can contribute to understanding of local phenomena, context, and culture.
Further, how qualitative methods can be used on their own and as a part of mixed method designs. This including contributing to culturally informed epidemiological studies. The methodological challenges with conducting cross-culture qualitative studies and the lack of generalizability will be discussed.
