Session: The Role of Self and Emotion Within Qualitative Data Analysis
Time: Wednesday 6th July, 11:15 - 12:45
Convenors:
Dr Victoria Knight (De Montfort University)
Dr Irene Zempi (Nottingham Trent University)
Abstract Details
This session draws on two different qualitative research projects- 1) experiences of imprisonment 2) victims of hate crime. Within the framework of intersectionality of identities, we demonstrate how our insider/outsider status influenced the research process, and consider the important role that our emotions and subjective experiences occupied within the analytic stage. We consider the role of ‘critical reflexivity’ in helping researchers recognise the impact of their multiple identities and emotions on data interpretation. We emphasise that during data analysis it is important to look critically at the data rather than simply replicate participants’ stories- emotions are assistive.
