SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:June 1-5 Course - Introduction to Qualitative Research Methods
DESCRIPTION:June 1-5\, 2026\, M-F\n1:00-4:00pm \nA live course via Zoom. Registration and payment are required a minimum of two weeks prior to the start of the course.\n\nFounded in 1948\, the Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques is designed specifically to meet the needs of professionals and graduate students seeking to deepen their expertise in survey methodology and data collection. Offered through the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science within the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan\, the program provides a rigorous and flexible curriculum that blends theoretical foundations with practical application — entirely online.\n\nIntroduction to Qualitative Research Methods\n\nThis introductory course provides students with a strong foundation in qualitative research\, covering principles of qualitative research\, study design including participant recruitment and sample size estimation. Students also learn how to design and conduct core data collection methods - in-depth interviews\, focus groups\, and observation – and a range of field tasks such as transcription and field training. Then writing and critiquing qualitative methods for academic work. The course is highly interactive\, emphasizing both the principles and skill development through applied activities. The course needs a minimum of 6 registrants and has an enrollment capacity of 10. \n\nDr. Monique Hennink is Professor in the Hubert Department of Global Health in the Rollins School of Public Health and Associated Faculty in Sociology at Emory University.

She earned her PhD in Demography in the United Kingdom.\n\nDr Hennink was indicted into Emory’s MilliPub Club in 2023 and 2024 for two research papers. This honors faculty authors of a scientific publication with over 1\,000 citations - considered high impact scholarship. She received the 2020 Provost’s Distinguished Teaching Award for Excellence in Graduate and Professional Education at Emory University. She also received the 'Excellence in Research' Award in 2019 and the 'Excellence in Teaching' Award in 2016 at the Rollins School of Public Health.\n\nShe has particular expertise in applying qualitative research to examine public health issues.

She teaches graduate-level courses in qualitative research at Emory University. She developed the 'QUAL-WORKS' (https://sph.emory.edu/qual-works) training program in 2013 for public health professionals. Her courses\, workshops and books reflect the application of qualitative methods in globally diverse settings and provide guidance on how to balance methodological rigor with the practical realities of global research. She has also published on various methodological aspects of qualitative research\, such as using interpreters and translators in qualitative data collection\; the effect of using court reporters on data quality\; estimating sample size in qualitative studies\; and highlighting emerging methodological issues in focus group research. She has served as a board member for SAGE Publications on their ‘Cases in Methodology’ work and on the editorial board of the International Journal of Multiple Research Approaches. She co-chaired a three-year scientific panel for the International Union of the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP)\, on ‘Qualitative Research in Population Studies’ which had a mandate to promote rigor in the use of qualitative methods in the discipline. She has led scientific sessions on qualitative research at key professional forums\, such as: International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry\; International Institute for Qualitative Methods\; European Association of Population Studies\; and the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population.\n\nTextbook Information: Hennink\, Hutter & Bailey (2020) 2nd Ed.
