Written By Chris Burnage

Learn about thematic analysis with Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke!

In this engaging webinar, Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke, authors of the award-winning textbook Thematic Analysis: A Practical Guide, explored good practices in reporting thematic analysis (TA) - particularly for the reflexive TA approach they have developed. They highlighted some common problems in the reporting of TA and discussed how these problems can be avoided. Virginia and Victoria's frequent collaborators and co-authors Nikki Hayfield and Gareth Terry posed questions and welcomed Q&A from the audience. Find the recording and resources below.

Images contain information absent in text, and this extra information presents opportunities and challenges. It is an opportunity because one image can document variables with which text sources (newspaper articles, speeches or legislative documents) struggle or on datasets too large to feasibly code manually.
