Workshops

While GCAC’s workshops are designed with graduate students in mind, all members of the University of Toronto community are welcome to attend as many workshops as they wish. We offer workshops in three formats: live online, in-person, and prerecorded (on-demand). Registration is required for all workshops. Live workshops are not recorded.

Presented by Bradley Dunseith.

Interviews are the foundation of a lot of qualitative research methodology. This workshop will discuss strategies on how to conduct interviews for one’s own research, consider when to use structured, semi-structured, and un-structured interviews, and reflect on ethical considerations that go beyond getting approval from the Research Ethics Board.

Specifically, we will be focusing on how to draft the actual questions a researcher asks a research participant. What kinds of interview questions prompt dialogue and reflection? How best to avoid questions that elicit one-word answers? This workshop will explore ways of writing interview questions which reflect one’s research questions – and that produce meaningful interviews for everyone involved.

Please note: This workshop is not about preparing students to give interviews as job applicants. It is a workshop about conducting interviews as the researcher (interviewer) and not about being interviewed.

Recurring live workshop topics each term can include generative AI use in academic writing, writing thesis/grant proposals, where to find additional granting sources, diagramming strategies, using online language tools, writing field notes, literature reviews, note-taking strategies, and more.
