Reflexivity: How to actually do it Written by Tracy Morison. Let’s be honest: reflexivity is one of the most overused and under-explained terms in qualitative research. We all say we’re being reflexive—often in a neat little paragraph in the methodology section—but what does that actually look like in practice? This post is a practical (and hopefully honest) attempt to answer that question.

The umbrella term 'qualitative research' encompasses so many traditions, theories and methods. As academics, teachers and supervisors, how do we best serve students (and ourselves) in recognising and developing our skills into new areas?

Developing expertise with interpretative phenomenological analysis | BPS A University of Derby team – Drs Elly Phillips, Fiona Holland, Gulcan Garip and Caroline Harvey – move from the personal to the more general.

As experts on interpretative phenomenological analysis, we're keen to share ways to improve supervision and research in this area. Read more of our recommendations here www.bps.org.uk/psychologist... #ipa #interpretativephemomenologicalanalysis #research #students #psychology

We often hear students lamenting that they're conducting an interpretative phenomenological analysis #ipa #research project, but that their supervisor isn't too familiar with IPA and hasn't published themselves.

If this resonates with you, what would help with your research project?
