Pedagogies for collaborative qualitative research

This chapter draws on the growing methodological literature related to collaborative qualitative research projects, specifically how those teaching and learning about research methods for collaboration can benefit from improved skills and abilities to design, implement, and share results from collaborative research projects. Collaborative qualitative research is increasingly required by funders and becoming the gold standard for combining scholars and approaches from multiple disciplines and professions to find solutions to complex problems. How then do we prepare novice researchers to gain the knowledge needed to create and participate in collaborative research? What skills and dispositions do they need and how can they adapt their qualitative research knowledge to address collaborative research projects? Detailed suggestions for educators looking for ways to redesign their qualitative research methods courses for novice and early career researchers are also provided.
