課程概述

The course will be delivered primarily through workshops, combining lectures, small-group discussions, practical exercises, and group and individual presentations. As a follow-up course to the course on Health Research Methods, the workshops are held from Week 5 to Week 16.

Except for the first session (only 1 hour), all workshops are composed of three hours. In the first hour, we will introduce the theories, concepts, and relevant academic debates, while having the students discuss, debate on, and practise what they have learnt in the following two hours.

There are two types of workshop – theoretical and methodological ones. The general schedule for each workshop includes [1st hour] Lecture + [2nd & 3rd hour] Students’ presentation of readings of their choices (with a brief QA session but not graded) + In-class discussion and exercise + Feedback and debate. For more detail, please see the session schedule later. 

課程目標
 At the end of the course, the students are expected to:
- Explain the role of quantitative and qualitative methods and sciences in describing and assessing a population’s health (D17-3);
- Apply ethical approaches in global health research and practice (GH-2);
- Display critical self-reflection, cultural humility, and ongoing learning in global health (GH-6);
- Exemplify proficient skills to contribute to public health scholarship and engage community partners and stakeholders to conduct own research and form collaborations based on high ethical standards (DGH-1);
- Scrutinise and apply qualitative and quantitative methods to provide evidence-based solutions to global health problems considering cultural safety and diversity (DGH-2);
- Design, implement, and evaluate theory-informed and evidence-based research programs in an academia or practice setting (DGH-3). 
課程要求
 The course introduces the qualitative methodology and diverse research methods – including their research design, data collection and analysis, and epistemological and ethical considerations. Therefore, active participation in discussing and presenting reading tasks is required for all students. Upon completing this course, students should identify a specific health-related research topic and use the knowledge and skills learned to present a feasible research design.

Thus, in addition to the workshop activities, the students are expected to be equipped to undertake a theoretically-informed research project (considering relevant political, ethical, and epistemological accounts), critically appreciate others’ works, and engage in sophisticated methodological debates through:
- Mid-term submission: All students should submit a draft research proposal for a qualitative study, which includes at least a research title, research question, and literature review (focusing on the theoretical aspect of the research topic and how such an aspect informs their research design and critical reflections).
- End-of-term presentation: In the last session, using slides or other supportive material, all students should present their research proposals about how the theoretical framework informs their methodological decisions and ethical accounts and policy implications (if any).
- End-of-term feedback: Along with the presentation, every student is required to complete feedback forms for everyone else’s presentations.
