QUEST Events

QUEST runs events that bring qualitative researchers from across the University of Southampton into dialogue with each other and with qualitative experts from other institutions, as well as collaborative events with other qualitative research groups outside of Southampton.

We have also collaborated with the South Coast Doctoral Training Partnership to provide training for academic staff and PGR students in the qualitative data analysis packages NVivo and Leximancer.
