General information Practicalities Application Form

Course by Tutku Ayhan (IBEI)

  • Schedule: 5 & 6 June (10-13:00h and 14-16:00h)

This course provides hands-on training in qualitative research methodologies, focusing on fieldwork. While it briefly introduces positivist and interpretivist approaches, the emphasis is on practical applications across research paradigms. Topics covered include: a) Research design and planning for diverse fieldwork contexts, b) Developing data collection strategies that balance research design, data gathering, and analysis; c) Conducting one-on-one interviews (respondent selection, protocol development, interviewing techniques); d) Introduction to other qualitative methods such as participant observation, focus groups, archival research, and digital fieldwork, e) Addressing intellectual, logistical, and ethical challenges in field research. The course features interactive exercises and discussions, encouraging students to apply these methods to their own research projects.

  • Tutku Ayhan

Tutku Ayhan is a Fellow in International Security at IBEI. Before joining IBEI, she was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention at State University of New York, Binghamton.

Broadly situated within Feminist Security Studies, Tutku's research examines gendered dimensions of war and its aftermath from an intersectional framework. She is mainly interested in post-conflict gender dynamics and women's post-conflict experiences, particularly their experience of resilience and empowerment. Her work also explores forced displacement, ethnic conflict and genocide, as well as sexual and gender-based violence.

Her research methodology involves extensive, multi-site fieldwork among marginalized communities affected by conflict. Using a combination of in-depth interviews, participant observation, and ethnographic techniques, she follows forcibly displaced individuals surviving conflict in various settings, including camps, informal shelters, and cities across both the Global South and Global North.

At IBEI, she has been coordinating "The Securitization of Migrants and Ethnic Minorities and the Rise of Xenophobia in the EU" (SECUREU) project.
