Are you interested in gaining an understanding of how to design, conduct, and present applied qualitative research? If so, these online workshops are for you! While this series is particularly intended for graduate students, FGS additionally invites and warmly welcomes graduate faculty including supervisors and committee members, as well as research staff, and postdocs. Feel free to come to one, two or all of them! Workshops will be delivered virtually and will be recorded. Registration is required.
Facilitated by Dr. Karen Campbell, RN, PhD, Assistant Professor, School of Nursing, York University. Dr. Campbell’s program of research focuses on the intersections of women’s health with physical and social geography. She has taught graduate-level courses in qualitative research and designed and conducted multiple applied qualitative research projects using a broad range of study designs and approaches to analysis.
Hosted by Associate Dean, Academic, Dr. Cheryl van Daalen-Smith, RN, PhD
Learning objectives
Over the course of the three webinars, participants will be able to:
- identify critical elements of research design and knowledge generation in applied qualitative research;
- develop an answerable research question, estimate sample size, and engage in reflexivity;
- determine data generation processes that align with the study design;
- develop practical skills to apply Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis;
Webinar One: A Guide to Applied Qualitative Research
This webinar provides graduate students, supervisors, and researchers with a practical foundation in applied qualitative research. Participants will explore key qualitative methodologies, research design considerations, data collection strategies, and approaches to generating rigorous and meaningful findings.

Webinar Three: Generative AI in Qualitative Data Analysis
This webinar examines the emerging role of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in qualitative research and data analysis. Participants will explore opportunities, limitations, ethical considerations, and practical applications of GenAI tools to support coding, theme development, data synthesis, and research productivity while maintaining methodological rigor.
When: Tuesday, March 9, 2027 from 11:00 a.m.-12:15 p.m.
