This class provides an overview of qualitative methods with examples drawn from emergency preparedness, homeland security, and cybersecurity. This course will explore a number of facets of this topic, including the nature of qualitative inquiry, ethical concerns associated with qualitative methods, different data collection and analysis techniques, and strategies for writing up qualitative studies. Qualitative methods can be both difficult and rewarding for similar reasons. For most of your careers, you have been taught that reliable and valid research is an objective, disconnected process, uninfluenced by the researcher. This class challenges that notion from the outset, suggesting that this is an illusion created by the researcher, and that our biases matter. Prerequisites: Emh 640, or Ist 608, or Inf 710, or permission of Instructor.
