Following my tweet yesterday on the new edition of Analysing Qualitative Data in Psychology - if you're not familiar with this book here's why it's awesome - it covers 5 qual approaches - TA, IPA, grounded theory, discourse & narrative analysis. For each there is a "how to" guide

written by "experts" (e.g. me & @ginnybraun for TA, @BrettSmithProf for narrative analysis), then a doing chapter often written by a grad student/ECR applying the approach to an interview dataset - which is reproduced in the book, with further interviews on the companion website

So for the doing TA chapter @GarethRTerry shares his experience of using TA to analyse 2 interviews with ex-soldiers about their experiences of leaving the army. He starts with answering the 'many questions' of TA & reflecting on his assumptions before diving into the six phases.

Then for each approach there's an edited version of a published report with a reflective commentary from the author(s). For TA @GarethRTerry et al. reflect on a TA study of body hair removal - so both this & the worked eg in my & @ginnybraun's chapter focus on appearance & the...

body. But that's not all! Editors Evanthia Lyons & @AdrianCoyle5 are spoiling you with chapters on the foundations of qual research, ethics, a brand new for this edition section on data gathering - covering interviews, social media & visual data. And we haven't even gotten to the

companion website yet with additional exercises and videos for each approach. Here you will find @GarethRTerry talking about the importance of understanding your theoretical perspective when doing reflexive TA: study.sagepub.com/lyons-coyle3e
