1/ Head on over to my YouTube channel for new lectures on Thematic Analysis, the Foundations of Qualitative Research & Qualitative Research Design created by me, @drnikkihayfield & @ginnybraun with narration by me (& occasionally my cat!) - please share!: youtube.com/channel/UCLBw6…

2/ We will add the slides & handouts to thematicanalysis.net as soon as we get a chance. There are two - 3 part - lectures on the Foundations of Qual Research. Foundations 1 is a gentle introduction for those new(ish) to qual, starting w/ what is qual?:

3/ Foundations 1 part 2 is about meaning and meaning making in Big Q qualitative research - the lectures in the series focus on Big Q (the use of qualitative techniques underpinned by qualitative research values) -

4/ Foundations 1 part 3 is about orientations to meaning in Big Q qualitative -

5/ Foundations to Qualitative Research 2 provides a less gentle introduction to the philosophical underpinnings & key concepts in Big Q qualitative - this is part 1 on key characteristics:

6/ Foundations 2 part 2 is about experiential and critical orientations to Big Q -

7/ Finally part 3 of Foundations 2 is about the dreaded 'ologies and the key concepts of subjectivity and reflexivity -

8/ Next a 3 part lecture on Qualitative Research Design - part 1 is on qualitative research design principles and research questions -

9/ Part 2 of Qualitative Research Design focuses on methods of data collection, 'sampling' and recruitment:

10/ Finally part 3 of Qualitative Research Design focuses on data analysis and ethics -

11/ Finally for now (another lecture will follow at some point next yr) a 4 part lecture on #thematicanalysis. Part 1 addresses the question what is TA?

12/ Part 2 of the Thematic Analysis lecture explores the idea that thematic analysis is uniquely flexible -

13/ Part 3 of the Thematic Analysis lecture is the beast (!!) focused on the six phases of reflexive TA -

14/ Finally part 4 of the Thematic Analysis lecture focus on quality and avoiding common problems -

15/ OK some caveats - these were created for teaching at UWE so there will be some references to Blackboard (our virtual learning environment), lectures not uploaded to YouTube etc. As noted the slides & the handout for the TA lecture will appear on thematicanalysis.net as

16/ soon as we get time to do that. Follow me & @ginnybraun as we will tweet when that happens. Finally, finally please admire my choice of images! All copyright cleared from Pexels and Pixabay. Please share these resources with your students, use in your teaching etc!
