Main research fields:

Uwe Flick has been interested for quite some time in everyday knowledge (subjective theories or social representations) in areas like health and illness, technological change in everyday life or trust in helping relationships. Currently he is directing a project funded by the German Research Council (DFG) about chronic illness of homeless adolescents. In the field of methodology, his interest is mainly how different methods can be combined in qualitative research (triangulation) and focused on issues of quality in qualitative research.
