Continuing Professional Development (CPD) seminar

In this session, Jonathan will discuss one particular experiential qualitative research method: interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). He will briefly outline the characteristic features of IPA and give some examples of it from his own work.

We will then engage in thinking about doing IPA in practice and hopefully there will be some exercises for attendees to take part in.
