Session: Wednesday 9th July PM (16.00 - 17.30)

Title: New Methods for Old Data: Diverse Approaches to Reusing Qualitative Data

Convenor:

Dr Libby Bishop (UK Data Service)


Abstract Details

Secondary analysis has been less common and more contested for qualitative data than for quantitative data. However, use of the approach has grown rapidly to become more widely accepted. This growth is explained by the open data movement, funder policies and researchers seeing benefits of sharing all manner of resources. This session showcases novel methodological approaches to reusing qualitative data: Brannen, Elliott and Phoenix employ narrative analysis to intergenerational, qualitative data on fathering by both secondary and original investigators; Andrews integrates narrative method with reuse; and Lawrence applies an historical framing to the question of social identity.
