ONLINE: Qualitative Thematic Analysis Masterclass (European time / GMT)

Are you second-guessing your analytic decisions?

Many researchers reach the stage of developing themes and realise they are:

• unsure whether their themes are sufficiently conceptual
• working without a clear analytic framework
• struggling to articulate their analytic claim
• concerned their analysis may lack conceptual depth

This two-day masterclass supports researchers through the full analytic progression — from coding through to coherent, defensible themes and their articulation in writing.

Enrolments close on Friday 27th March so that materials and preparation can be finalised.

Times for this online event:

8am-3pm GMT+1 (daylight savings time)

This research training is:

• Engaging, hands-on, and interactive
• Designed to build researchers knowledge, skills and confidence to deepen your understanding of qualitative research and successfully conduct thematic analysis
• Based on first hand qualitative research and education experience and has been delivered extensively in Australia and internationally
• Interdisciplinary and suitable for both experienced researchers and those new to qualitative research

Real world and practical:

• This training draws on real-world examples from qualitative research projects, using thematic analysis, and other qualitative methodologies that the facilitator has undertaken; as well as practical examples to work through to help you conduct your own rigorous research.
• Participants each receive a resource pack full of activities we work through during the training.

Day 1 enables participants to:

• Have a strong understanding of the core aspects of qualitative research
• Explore and differentiate between essentialist, contextualist, and constructionist approaches to thematic analysis
• Be guided through each individual stage of thematic analysis via expertly crafted and supported activities
• Gain the skills and confidence to successfully complete a research project using thematic analysis

Day 2 enables participants to:

• Apply thematic analysis across essentialist, contextualist, and constructionist theoretical approaches
• Explore the importance of subjectivity and reflexivity in qualitative research
• Have a strong grounding in the distinctions between the three schools of thematic analysis (reflexive, codebook and coding reliability)
• Explore the relationship between thematic analysis and other qualitative approaches (e.g., discourse analysis, grounded theory interpretative phenomenological analysis)
• Use thematic analysis with a range of data types (e.g. images, webpages)

Participants receive:

• Pre-training material: Preparatory content to participants two weeks before training
• Two days of interactive online training
• Certificate of Completion
• Option available to book in for one-on-one, post Masterclass support
