  • Audio & Video-Recorded Observation; Conversation Analysis
    By providing access to the nuance and complexity of everyday social interaction, video-recorded observation brings unique strengths as a qualitative research approach. This method also raises questions of research design and logistics with which all qualitative researchers must grapple. Which settings should be observed and for how long? How can video-recording be accomplished without distorting “natural” interactions? What “counts” as data? What about the logistics of informed consent? Guest lecturer Chris Koenig discusses these important issues while demonstrating video-recorded observation.
