Abstract (De)
Engaging with a panel of experts and an open discussion with the audience, this session addresses the ambivalent situation that researchers using qualitative methods currently find themselves in. While there have been recent successes in institutionalizing qualitative methods in some European contexts, other colleagues still face a situation in which qualitative methods are not fully acknowledged. Yet, some scholars have started to use the notion of “post-qualitative” approaches, seemingly moving beyond what we know as qualitative research approaches.
How well are qualitative methods institutionalized and accepted in different European contexts?
Given the current social and technological developments, what are the main challenges that qualitative approaches face? What are new directions in the field of qualitative research?
