Hey #qualitative peeps. Want a fresh approach for researching topics difficult to put into words? Check out an innovative method that uses metaphor, arts-based, and narrative -- something we call MAshNup. Teaser here: youtu.be/fkZFCLChGvM Full article below.

Awesome to lead a workshop on writing & publication in #qualitative research -- participants hail from medical, humanistic, management, and social science disciplines. @researchtalk.bsky.social organizes a variety of workshops. I feel honored to work with them. www.researchtalk.com/QRSI2025

Imagine AI is an animal assisting researchers with their qualitative projects. What animal is it, and why? In today's #NCA workshop, answers included: snake scorpion rabbit seeing eye dog. And, of course it's all of these! What's it for you?

I created these today via ChatGPT in preparation for a protest in Phoenix. Feel free to share and use yourself.

Research shows 5 major factors or resilience: 1. Accepting reality even if it's hard. 2. Asking for help. 3. Being patient; knowing what feels like forever in the moment is not. 4. Narrative that you'll grow from struggle. 5. Routine—helps to activate and provides predictability.

Joy doesn’t mean you’re not paying attention. Joy doesn’t mean you’re dumb. Joy in a time of mind-f*ckery IS resistance.

2 of 3 reviewers on my interpretive qualitative paper want intercoder reliability tests, random sample to prevent selection bias, tables w/counts, comparison to those not interviewed, & generalizability. If you are NOT qualified to review qualitative research, please say no to the journal's request.

Don't fall into the trap of engaging in anticipatory obedience. Carry on with your extraordinary self. Carry on with your commitment to justice, equity, and good.

How can researchers balance creativity with rigor in data analysis? 🎨📊 Jess Miles chats with me, Dawn Mannay, & @alistairroy.bsky.social, editors of The Handbook of Creative Data Analysis, about innovation, ethics, & anxieties around creative methods. www.transformingsociety.co.uk/2025/01/14/p...

Text voice recognition fail: It took me a while to respond to a text message. To explain the delay, they received this: "It was because I was deluded by hundreds of NCAA females.” Only makes sense to folks deluged by emails during #NCA24. Glad the recipient laughed and understood the context!!

Optimist: the glass is half full Pessimist: the glass is half empty Qualitative Researcher: Curious why someone filled the water to that level, asks the person about their background, reasons for filling the water to that level, and how their perceive the water in the glass. #QualitativeResearch

In-depth #qualitative research is fundamental for understanding politics. Hochschild's words (although a decade old) resound as I make sense of the latest election. It's time for folks examine "why," "how," and "in what ways," rather than obsessing on "how many." www.amazon.com/Strangers-Th...
