‘Instances or Sequences in Qualitative Data Analysis’
with Professor David Silverman
Friday 8th March 2024 (10.00-11.30)
Online via Zoom
The most common methods used to analyse qualitative data are probably content analysis and thematic analysis [TA]. In this talk, David shows the limitations of both methods. Taken out of context, a single word or phrase used by an interviewee or present in a document or email tells us very little and fails to take account of the skilful ways in which people produce their accounts.
By contrast, David demonstrates how sequential analysis of both naturalistic and manufactured data can reveal how social worlds are put together moment by moment. He shows how improved transcription of recorded talk allows us to discover features hidden in ‘tidied up’ transcripts and describes the nature and value of two analytic traditions which address sequences: discourse analysis and narrative analysis.
