Advanced Critical Praxeological Analysis: Designing a Project and Writing a Paper (online)Info Location Additional Items Contact More Info Course Information Critical Praxeological Analysis (CPA) is a new approach which provides a way of conducting critical qualitative research. Critical Praxeological Analysis (CPA) synthesises ideas from three key areas: Wittgensteinian philosophy, particularly the method of grammatical investigation; ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, with a focus on praxeological gestalts; and critical research, especially critical phenomenology. This synthesis provides a robust method for critical qualitative research. In this two day online advanced course, the authors of the approach, Khadijah Diskin and Phil Hutchinson, will help participants identify and plan a project of study, handle data, and make a start on developing a research article. This course will assume an understanding of the basics of CPA and spend minimal time on a brief recap of these (see NCRM's online course Introduction to CPA - 12-13 February 2025 if you feel you need an introductory course first).
