8th May 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Introduction to IPA<\/strong>: The workshop will  begin with an overview of IPA’s theoretical foundations, emphasizing its roots in phenomenology and hermeneutics. Participants will learn about the importance of understanding lived experiences from the perspective of the individual<\/li>
  2. Research Design<\/strong>: Participants will be guided on how to design qualitative research studies using IPA (formulation of research questions, selection of participants, and ethical considerations).<\/li>
  3. Data Collection<\/strong>: The workshop will provide insights into effective methods for collecting qualitative data, typically through in-depth interviews or written accounts. Tips on creating a conducive environment for sharing experiences will also  be covered.<\/li>
  4. Data Analysis<\/strong>: A significant component of the workshop will involve hands-on training in analyzing qualitative data using IPA. Participants will learn how to classify data, identify themes, and interpret findings while maintaining fidelity to research participants’ experiences.<\/li>
  5. Reflexivity in Research<\/strong>: Emphasis will be  placed on the researcher’s positionality and the importance of reflexivity in interpreting data. Participants will explore how their own experiences can influence the research process.<\/li>
  6. Practical Application<\/strong>: The workshop will  include practical  examples of IPA in practice.<\/li>
  7. Feedback and Discussion<\/strong>: Opportunities for group discussion and feedback will  be  incorporated to foster collaboration and deepen understanding.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Overall, the first IPA workshop will aim at  preparing researchers with the skills and knowledge necessary to conduct meaningful qualitative research that respects and illuminates participants’ lived experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
