Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis Workshop Sept. 30
Jonathan Smith
This virtual workshop, hosted by The Qualitative Report and delivered by Jonathan Smith from Birkbeck University of London UK, will provide a practical introduction to the experiential, qualitative approach-interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA).
The aim is that, by the end of the class, attendees will recognize the important principles of the approach and understand the main practical steps involved in a research project using IPA. The workshop will begin with a short example of a study conducted by Jonathan.
The best way to get to grips with the value of an approach is to see what it can produce. This will be followed by a brief presentation of the theoretical underpinnings of IPA. Most of the workshop will focus on Smith guiding participants through the stages of conducting an IPA study: design, data collection, analysis, writing up.
The workshops will take place via the Zoom platform.

Looking Forward, Looking Back: Freedom, Afrofuturism and Reflections on Juneteenth, June 19
Virtual Event
Saturday, June 19, 3:00 p.m.
Free
In recognition of Juneteenth, NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale will present “Looking Forward, Looking Back: Freedom, Afrofuturism and Reflections on Juneteenth,” a free virtual panel discussion on Saturday, June 19 at 3:00 p.m. This event launches Community Voices, NSU Art Museum’s new initiative supported by the Community Foundation of Broward, that focuses on exploring social and racial inequalities and challenging social structures, including representation in museums. Community Voices will provide a new forum for community discourse as it highlights topics of identity, migration and race through talks, multidisciplinary performances and workshops that are aimed at celebrating diversity and that serve as a catalyst for social change. Join expert panelists Ransford F. Edwards, Jr., Ph.D., Kandy G. Lopez-Moreno, M.F.A. and Rachel Panton, Ph.D., faculty members of Nova Southeastern University, who will look back at the historical context of emancipation, as well as the ongoing tension between the rhetoric of recovery and an imagined and unenslaveable Black future in art, literature, and pop culture.
Tickets are free and must be reserved in advance. For reservations, email moareservations@moafl.org or call 954-262-0258. Tickets may also be reserved online at nsuartmuseum.org.
