Sociomedical Sciences Applied Qualitativ

SMS Applied Qual Rsrch Me

This class will provide an overview of qualitative research methods to help you develop an applied and advanced understanding of the possibilities that qualitative research offers. In this course you will practice designing a qualitative research study, and collecting, coding and analyzing data. Further, you will read methods literature and qualitative studies as well as critique qualitative work. 
 
Course lectures will begin with foundations in the principles and practice of social science research in public health using qualitative research methodologies. The course will then proceed with a focus on the main types of qualitative data collection: ethnographic methods, interviewing focus groups, and mixed methods. It will introduce you to the idea of emergent themes, including a grounded theory approach. It will explore the importance of triangulation and other strategies for improving validity and reliability in qualitative research.  Several classes will be dedicated using Atlas.ti programming. You will collect and analyze qualitative data in this course and participate in live classroom-based exercises (e.g. interviewing, focus group, coding) in smaller groups that allow time for discussion and re-doing.
 
The course will further emphasize the art of coding, thematic analysis, and written presentation of the results of qualitative analysis. This is an applied course, emphasizing hand-on work gathering and analyzing qualitative data and skill building appropriate for research positions, further graduate study, or applied public health settings where learning from observation or speaking with people is important. This course builds on the Qualitative Foundations of the Core and Intro to Sociomedical Science Research Methods (P8774).

CHINESE MEDIA CULTURES

What is media and mediation? How do aesthetics, techniques and technologies of media shape perception, experience, and politics in our societies? And how have various forms of media and mediation been conceptualized and practiced in the Chinese-language environment? This graduate seminar examines critical issues in historical and contemporary Chinese media cultures, and guides students in a broad survey of primary texts, theoretical readings, and research methods that place Chinese media cultures in historical, comparative and interdisciplinary perspectives. We discuss a variety of media forms, including paintings and graphic arts, photography and cinema, soundscapes and the built environment, and television and digital media. The class covers a time span from mid-19 th  century to the present, and makes use of the rich holdings at the Starr East Asian Library for historical research and media archaeology.   

Open to MA and PhD students. Advanced undergraduates need to have instructor's approval.
Language prerequisites: intermediate or advanced Chinese; rare exceptions upon instructor’s approval.

Capstone Workshop for Executive MPA

Capstone Workshop for EMP

The EMPA Capstone Workshop
is a culminating experience in which students apply the practical skills and analytical knowledge acquired during the program to a real-world policy or management challenge. Working in small consulting teams under faculty supervision, students engage with an external client to address a defined problem, conduct research, and deliver actionable recommendations.

Each team produces a final written report and presents its findings in a formal oral briefing designed to support implementation and impact. The workshop develops applied consulting, project management, and client engagement skills while reinforcing core competencies in policy analysis and public leadership.

Completion of the Capstone or Portfolio Presentation Workshop is a graduation requirement for Executive MPA students and is typically taken in the final semester. Enrollment is by application and managed by the EMPA Student Affairs.
