The idea of post-qualitative research is not about cancelling conventional forms of qualitative analysis, but opening our scholarship up to playfulness and alternatives to notions of systematic rigour that are often imported from more quantitative, scientific realms. In a post-qualitative approach we can embrace messiness, unruliness, the unexpected, not-yet data, oddities and curiosities. We can follow insights as much as evidence, anomalies as much as patterns. This workshop will introduce some key post-qualitative ideas and ways of putting them to use in analysis.

Learning outcomes:

Learn some key post-qualitative approaches
Develop confidence in the value of qualitative data analytical methods
