Important reminder for qualitative researchers: disrupting people’s lives for emotionally draining interviews—only to use their data partially or once—can feel exploitative. Ethics go beyond consent. (Kuula) #ProfDoc #appliedsocialresearch

“Failing to recognize that an issue involves power and politics reduces an evaluator’s strategic options and increases the likelihood that the evaluator will be used unwittingly as some stakeholder’s political puppet.”

Creative methods in research challenge dominant narratives, surface complex emotions, and give voice to experiences hard to verbalise. They open space for reimagining the world and ourselves in it.

1/ "Social science research can benefit from a much greater awareness of the senses both in terms of its ontology ... and its epistemology... In ordinary and everyday ways, the senses are part of what Ingold calls ‘involvement in the world’ (2000:258), and..."

“In our everyday life we are busily engaged in activities in the world and we take for granted our experience of the world. In order to be phenomenological, we need to disengage from the activity and attend to the taken-for-granted experience of it.”

"Ontology and epistemology are complex! Be patient with yourself if you struggle with this- pretty much everyone does, some are just afraid to admit it...It takes time to develop a clear(ish) sense of your Big Theory positions."

Identity isn’t just individual or social—it’s shaped by discourse. We are both subjects of and agents in power structures. #ASP005 #discourseanalysis #appliedsocialresearch #profdoc

Critical Discourse Analysis (Fairclough, 2001) shows how power operates through language & ideology. Who controls the words, controls the narrative. #ASP005 #discourseanalysis #appliedsocialresearch #profdoc

Discourse isn’t just about language—it’s about power, dominance, and how our realities are shaped. Critical discourse analysis asks: Who controls the narrative? #ASP005 #discourseanalysis #appliedsocialresearch #profdoc

Power isn’t just about hierarchy or law. For Foucault, power is local, circulating, and tied to knowledge. It shapes what we see as ‘truth’ in everyday life. #ASP005 #discourseanalysis #appliedsocialresearch #profdoc

Foucault’s concept of power/knowledge highlights how ‘truth’ isn’t neutral—it’s shaped by systems of power. Who gets to be an ‘expert’? And what truths do they produce? #ASP005 #appliedsocialresearch #discourseanalysis #profdoc

#IPA analysis is inductive, iterative, and cyclical—moving from specific to broader themes. It focuses on convergence & divergence, using double hermeneutics (empathic & questioning). The process moves from descriptive to interpretive insights

Triangulation: Strengthening research credibility 📊🔍
By combining theories, methods, or observers, we reduce bias and enhance validity. Are we doing enough to integrate multiple perspectives in our studies? 🤔 #QualitativeResearch #Triangulation #ProfDoc #appliedsocialresearch

Beyond saturation: Should we focus on sufficiency instead? 🔍
Sufficiency recognises the ongoing, iterative nature of qualitative research—ensuring we’ve heard enough, not just everything. How do we balance rigour with feasibility? 🤔 #Qualitative #DataSufficiency #ProfDoc #appliedsocialresearch

Looking at reliability and rigour in qualitative data analysis. Is achieving saturation a useful quality criterion in qualitative research? 📊
Theoretical saturation means no new data emerges, & concepts are fully developed. But is it always attainable? 🤔 #Qualitative #ProfDoc #appliedsocialresearch

A theme in thematic analysis captures something important in relation to the research question—it's more than just codes; it's a broader pattern of meaning. Transparency in linking data, codes, and themes is key #ThematicAnalysis #QualitativeResearch #ProfDoc #appliedsocialresearch

Semantic codes focus on the explicit meaning of the data—what was actually said, not what's implied. They help organise and summarise the content without interpretation. Stay close to the text #ThematicAnalysis #QualitativeResearch
