Introducing Qualitative Secondary Analysis: from why to do it, to how to do itInfo Location Additional Items Contact More Info Course Information This one-day online, interactive course will provide a practical introduction to Qualitative Secondary Analysis. The morning session will explore key debates and histories characterising the beginnings of this methodology, including how and why we might use existing qualitative data, how to sample from and across datasets and repositories, the unique ethical considerations of using existing qualitative data, and the potential of Qualitative Secondary Analysis to produce new and relevant research findings. The afternoon session will focus on the practicalities of analysing existing data, exploring the possibilities for these methods for delegates’ own research and the diversity of research designs made possible through data reuse. The course will comprise two lectures and two interactive workshops (see below for further details). The course will be delivered by Kahryn Hughes and Anna Tarrant, both specialists in QSA, and the authors of numerous books and papers based on research innovating in this methodology. The course will run from 10am to 4pm. In the first presentation of the day, delegates will be introduced to the key debates and challenges characterising the histories of Qualitative Secondary Analysis (QSA). They will be introduced to early debates interrogating the particularities of reusing qualitative data and the evolution of questions from whether we should reuse qualitative data to how we might do it. In the second presentation of the day, delegates will be introduced to methods and ethics of QSA, sources of qualitative data and the practicalities of sampling within and across datasets and repositories In afternoon workshops, delegates will get more ‘hands on’ with existing data with an opportunity to analyse short excerpts from real world research, and engage in guided reflection on the possibilities and limitations of this methodological approach. A second practical session will offer delegates the opportunity to consider possible research designs incorporating QSA in their own research. The course is suitable for doctoral and established researchers who are either new to this methodology or wish to refresh or enhance their research practice. Delegates will receive a course pack, comprising powerpoint slides and data files from the Timescapes Archive.
