One of our dear members highly recommends this free webinar.

Whether you are an instructor, a seasoned researcher, or a complete beginner, rest assured that our Thematic Analysis webinars are useful and stimulating for everyone. If you missed out on Build good practice in reporting thematic analysis last week, or if you’d like to watch it again, the recording is now available

If this sounds interesting, you can watch it here.

On a related note, there is also a longer and high quality 4-part series on TA on the youtube channel of Victoria Clarke that might be of interest.

These and other useful resources will also be posted on the resources page. If you know any resources that could be useful for the network, do not hesitate to send them to qrg@rug.nl!

The International Journal of Qualitative Methods is putting together a special issue, and the deadline for submissions is June 13th.

This Special Collection will focus on methodological research strategies that encourage participation, accessibility, and inclusion of population groups that may have had limited involvement in research studies previously, as well as reflections on ethics processes that seek to limit participation. The Collection will also encourage lived experience reflections about research methods and ways to enhance future projects through an accessibility lens.

Please consider this nice opportunity to publish your qualitative studies, that touches nicely on some of the themes discussed at the Qualitative Research Conference on the 26th of May.

Founder of the Qualitative Research Group, and former Chair, Rowan ten Kate is to defend her PhD in May! She invites the network to attend this festive occasion.

Dear colleagues,

It is my pleasure to invite you to my PhD defense which will take place on Monday May 22th at 12.45, in Groningen. The title of my dissertation is Understanding loneliness among older migrants. While the dissertation only has quantitative chapters, I’d still like to invite you as I enjoyed my time as a chair and coordinator of the QRG. There is also the option to watch the livestream via YouTube. If you do decide to see the defense in real life, you are also welcome to join the reception at the Academy building after the defense.

Best wishes,

Rowan

If you are concerned about accessibility and inclusion in qualitative research, you might be interested in considering this exciting opportunity to contribute to a special collection:

Accessibility and Inclusion: Advancing the Use of Qualitative Research Methods for All

The deadline for submissions is June 13th.

Last year, Tom Postmes presented his research on the gas-extraction related problems in the region of Groningen at the Qualitative Research Group. Since then, the research has advanced, and between June and October 2022, a parliamentary enquiry (similar to a truth and reconciliation commission) about this issue took place. It consisted of 69 public hearings and its final report will be presented on the 24th of February. After receiving this report, it is now important to reflect on the steps taken as well as those that lie ahead.

Therefore, on Monday, March 6, Kennisplatform Groningen is organizing a debate in which, together with several speakers, they will interpret, reflect and discuss the future of the gas extraction dossier. Are you interested in participating? To find more info and registration for the event, please visit their website.

Please note that the language of this event will be Dutch.
