Invitation to teach at a methods workshop in Amsterdam Dear colleagues, At the Amsterdam Institute of Social Science Research (AISSR) we organize a workshop on longitudinal interpretive or mixed methods research. Risk research should be a large part of the workshop, but contributions from other fields are welcome too. For this workshop we are looking for one or two speakers / teachers. Please read more about it below. The goal of this workshop is to enhance the knowledge on longitudinal research involving interpretive and mixed method approaches, to be used in risk research. It partly follows up on an earlier workshop on longitudinal analysis organized by Silke Aisenbrey (Yeshiva University) and Daniela Grunow (UvA) and an upcoming workshop on Q-methodology. It is co-organized by the program group Dynamics of Citizenship and Culture and by the Methods Lab of the AISSR (Gerben Moerman). Longitudinal data analysis has been an issue in anthropology and ethnography, in interaction, life-course, career and neighborhood studies and many more. At this moment, we are looking at a somewhat more specific issue: changes in perception, experience or subjectivity. We have several research projects related to this at the moment. One of them – where the finance comes from – concerns the influence of health risk communication on risk perception of technology. In that research, we will be able to gather quantitative and qualitative data during one year and in a small number of cases. Another project assesses changing parenting norms and practices and their diffusion in six European countries. The workshop we have in mind should cover theoretical, methodological and practical issues. We would like to learn more about types of longitudinal interpretive or mixed method research, methods of data gathering and analysis, practical exercise, comments on the work we are doing etcetera. The workshop should be kept to a small number of PhD students and staff members. A lecture for a broader audience is possible. We have a budget for expenses and a small fee. We want to make this happen before the summer of 2012. Amsterdam would be most convenient although we could think about organizing the workshop elsewhere. Please consider if you or someone you know might be interested and get back to me before march 2012.
