The 'Teaching Qualitative Psychology' special interest group of the Higher Education Academy (see http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/resources/detail/disciplines/psychology/teaching-qualitative-psychology) is currently undertaking research to identify the experiences and needs of psychology lecturing staff across the UK in relation to the supervision of undergraduate qualitative psychology dissertations (sometimes known as 'empirical projects'). The aim of the project is to examine the current status of needs and support for these tutors, so that potential resources can be identified for future development. To date, the project has been collecting data in the North-east of England, and is now commencing in Scotland. If you are a psychology lecturer/tutor who is, or has, supervised qualitative psychology dissertations/projects at undergraduate level then please get in touch with Sally Wiggins: sally.wiggins@strath.ac.uk for further details.
UPDATE August 2015. This research project has now been published in Qualitative Research in Psychology and can be accessed here: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14780887.2015.1075641#abstract
