@ginnybraun & I first wrote about #thematicanalysis over 13 years ago! We've written a lot more since then including most recently some reflections on & expansions of our thinking. Here is a thread of these starting with a commentary on why *reflexive* TA: tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
In this interview with our frequent TA collaborator @drnikkihayfield we reflect on the context 4 & the assumptions we made in writing the paper, how our thinking has changed & the ways reflexive #thematicanalysis is often misunderstood:
tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
A commentary on #thematicanalysis saturation 'experiments' & our case for why data saturation doesn't make sense for reflexive TA and doesn't have a place in generic quality criteria for qualitative research: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…:
A brief commentary in @cprjournal exploring some common problems & confusions in counselling & psychotherapy research using TA - all these apply to other fields! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…
Another interview - this one with @kristinas_tweet - about our approach & what it offers narrative therapy research which has roots in post structuralism & feminism. Also includes @kristinas_tweet's insightful reflections on her use of TA: dulwichcentre.com.au/product-catego…
Finally this is our latest straight "how to" chapter representing our current thinking - more 2 follow in 2020, various 2nd editions, a paper on quality & maybe even- finally - a #thematicanalysis book!!! - link.springer.com/referenceworke…

1/ @slsibbald asked for my & @ginnybraun's thoughts on theme saturation & this deserves a whole thread of its own - to unpack our gaaaahhhhh! reaction... There are several papers that set out to determine how many interviews (or focus groups) are required to achieve saturation in
2/ #thematicanalysis & make (somewhat nuanced/contextualised) claims about the number of interviews necessary to achieve theme or data saturation. In our view these papers make some rather extraordinary assumptions that speak to fundamental philosophical differences between
3/ coding reliability TA & our reflexive approach. For example, most of these papers consider a code saturated when 1 instance has been identified. For us the notion that the work of a code is done with 1 instance identified is rather puzzling. But when we look at what is being..

1/ Writing about quality in TA research right now - and just for the sake of clarity here are some things @ginnybraun & I don't advocate for but have all been attributed to us in several papers - codebooks, coding frames, data or theme saturation, constant comparative analysis...
2/ measurement of coding reliability, consensus coding, developing themes before coding, reporting theme frequency, themes 'emerging' from data... Seriously world, read the paper! & some of our more recent writing too - including this commentary: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
3/ To continue the rant, here are some common problems & assumptions we encounter in published TA - assuming TA is 1 singular approach (massive hint - it isn't! there are countless approaches differing in procedure & underlying philosophy), assuming TA is atheoretical or realist

1/ A third & final thread on writing a discussion section. @ipanalysis did a great thread on discussions on 29 March - so check that out too. We probably say something diff things - which highlights there's no (secret) rule book for, or 1 right way of, writing qual research
2/ so you need to work out what works for your research. You have the option of a separate results & discussion or an integrated R&D + a short 'overall discussion' (where you evaluate the study, make suggestions for future research - the discussion 'classics' etc). Some think
3/ integrated is best - but I think it depends on the nature of yr research, approaches used etc. A rule of thumb that can help you decide is 'am I making lots of micro connections with existing research & theory?' - does this small analytic point resonate with existing lit?

I’m being slowly sucked into the podcasting world in a way I only quarter-intended. It’s a bit like Twitter. The barrier to self-expression is so significantly lowered relative to longform that your creative energy kinda just leaks there instead of being piped deliberately.
I think the key for me has been giving up on 10 things:

1. Multiple takes
2. Scripting
3. Editing
4. A partner
5. High audio quality
6. Attractive voice performance
7. Standard lengths
8. Transcription
9. Explaining myself at genpop level
10. Garnishes like opening jingles
I’d have made a much more attractive performer 10 years ago when I was a lot more articulate on my feet. Now I have to search for the right words and often settle for the wrong ones so I don’t talk unbearably slowly.

Here's a thread about a @BBC news report about Hallwang Clinic. Hallwang Clinic, as regular readers might recall, is an alternative medicine clinic in Germany that specializes in combining unproven experimental treatments with quackery like homeopathy, all at a high price. 1/
Hallwang is notorious for this sort of thing, charging desperate patients huge sums of money for a combination of conventional therapy, unproven experimental drugs, and alternative medicine. I first wrote about this 3 years ago. 2/ respectfulinsolence.com/2016/11/08/the…
Perhaps the best expose of Hallwang was published by Lindsay Gelman. It's a heartbreaking read. 3/ longreads.com/2018/03/22/the…

This is dangerously inaccurate reporting. The most-quoted source says point blank, "mental health issues don't cause school shootings." Claiming "a 2004 study...found that nearly three-quarters of school shooters had been bullied or harassed at school" is a straight-up lie. The
linked study covers "incidents of targeted school violence" from 1974-2000. Checking the list of incidents in the appendix against a reasonably comprehensive list of every school shooting incident in the U.S. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_s…) we see that a bulk of the incidents covered
are not the sort of indiscriminate mass-shooting incidents the NPR piece plainly frames them as, but incidents with only one or two victims, clearly motivated by strong personal feelings the shooters had about those individuals. If you spend a prolonged period of time mistreating

Alot of people are learning who Philip Mudd is. But there is much more to the story.

I first wrote about Mudd several years ago, in an article proving the US intelligence agencies role in destroying the EU. (A premise later proven true by Snowden docs) contraspin.co.nz/the-agenda-to-…

Devasting news that the great investigative reporter Robert Parry died. He broke so many great, dangerous stories on CIA-Contra, drug running, Reagan-Bush crimes. Our Radio @TheWarNerd interview with Bob, recorded last year, about his life & journalism patreon.com/posts/radio-wa…
Russiagate shitlords smeared Parry as a "Kremlin disinformation" agent for daring to criticize "intelligence community" narrative. Parry attributed his first stroke to stress caused by Russiagate smear-goons like PropOrNot & their media friends consortiumnews.com/2017/12/31/an-…
I first wrote for Bob 20 years ago. He was one of the rare liberal US journalists interested in critiquing Clinton's catastrophic Russia policy & the Yeltsin oligarchy created under Clinton's watch
