In this session, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and seek feedback on their qualitative analysis from facilitators and other attendees. To attend, participants must be working on a qualitative data analysis project and can seek feedback on any step in the process (e.g., coding; creating matrices, diagrams, or other products; developing categories or themes; summarizing data). They also must have attended an NC TraCS Introduction to Qualitative Data Analysis training (on September 30 or a previous session or recording).
This event is part of the NC TraCS Qualitative Research Training Series.
Please note: We will not be presenting information about qualitative analysis in this session; instead, we will ask participants to share where they are in their analysis process, ask questions about their analyses, and collectively discuss strategies for moving our analyses forward. This event will not be recorded.
