Abstract Details

How feasible is it to conduct secondary data analysis across existing data from several qualitative longitudinal studies? This session will focus on various strategies for exploiting the full potential of archived qualitative longitudinal data to explore and compare processes of change and continuity. Presenters will discuss their practices in working across cases and longitudinally within a data set, and scaling up across cases and longitudinally using multiple data sets. They will draw on their diverse experiences of using the Timescapes Archive to discuss their secondary analytic strategies for working with combined qualitative longitudinal data.
