Working Group on Qualitative Interpretation

At the annual mee­ting of the GPJE in 2014 in Halle, the idea to estab­lish a com­mu­nity focu­sing on qua­li­ta­tive inter­pre­ta­tion was born. Mem­bers of the ECR then for­med a group which met regu­larly to inter­pret empi­ri­cal data. Back then, the group led by David Jahr, Farina Nagel, Ben­ja­min Moritz and Ste­fa­nie Kess­ler mainly worked with the docu­men­tary method.

Ori­gi­nally, the group was estab­lished for the ECR. But in 2023, the working group got a new name and was ope­ned for all rese­ar­chers. The quar­terly mee­tings are mainly being held online. Each mem­ber can take the respon­si­bi­lity for a mee­ting by brin­ging the empi­ri­cal data and intro­du­cing the method.

All rese­ar­chers, with and wit­hout pre­vious expe­ri­ence, are invi­ted to take part and bring their data and methods from all stages of their rese­arch. The focal point is the com­mon inter­pre­ta­tion, not the indi­vi­dual performance.
