The Social Science Research Commons offers a range of support services for researchers using qualitative research methods, alone or in combination with other research methods. Read below about the Qual Lab, see options for consultations and workshops, sign up to receive email updates, and browse some general resources recommended by our commutniy of qualitative researchers.
The Qual Lab was founded in 2014 by Dr. Kathryn Graber and is managed by the Social Science Research Commons. IU faculty and graduate students can use the lab space (in Woodburn Hall) and/or check out equipment (from Morrison Hall).
Qualitative researchers at IU have several options for generating automated transcripts from research interviews. (In addition to these automated tools, our Qual Lab houses software and provides access to transcription footpedals to support manual transcription.)
The Social Science Research Commons offers consultations in qualitative research methods and tools. Request a consultation through our intake form.
The Social Science Research Commons also offers workshops in qualitative and mixed-methods research. Reach out to us to request a workshop for your group.
These references and resources have been suggested by our qualitative consultants and SSRC community members.
