Michael Sharp serves as an ATS Assistant Lecturer in the Department of Psychology within the Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta. His current teaching portfolio includes undergraduate courses PSYCH 105 (Individual and Social Behavior), PSYCH 315 (Introduction to Qualitative Methods), PSYCH 333 (Personality Theory), and PSYCH 415 (Advanced Qualitative Methods), alongside graduate-level PSYCH 505 (Conference Course in Psychology) for Winter Term 2026.
His research centers on qualitative methodologies in psychological science, with specialized expertise in data gathering through interviews, observed interaction, and textual analysis. This focus extends to personality theory frameworks and their intersections with social and cognitive processes. His teaching emphasizes hands-on laboratory components where students engage directly with qualitative data management and interpretation techniques.
As an educator, Sharp structures courses to develop critical methodological rigor across undergraduate and graduate levels. His PSYCH 315 and PSYCH 415 sequences demonstrate a dedicated curriculum building from foundational qualitative concepts to advanced analytical procedures, reflecting his commitment to training psychologists in non-quantitative research paradigms.
