TQR 11th Annual Pre-Conference Workshop

We are excited to announce that we have added a pre-conference workshop by Johnny Saldaña on Tuesday, January 14, 2020 from 1 p.m.-4 p.m. at Nova Southeastern University.

Johnny Saldaña, Professor Emeritus from Arizona State University-Tempe, facilitates a participatory workshop on “An Introduction to Qualitative Data Analysis.” The purpose of the workshop is to survey how narrative data can be inductively analyzed through different methods from the canon of qualitative inquiry heuristics. Three approaches to the analysis of interview and survey data will be demonstrated, and participants will explore each of these methods with authentic data sets. The first is coding and categorizing the story of a man with depression and anxiety. The second is thematic analysis of a teacher’s narrative about her relationship with students. And the third is the development of assertions about a woman recounting her troubled adolescence. Additional workshop topics include constructing diagrams and matrices, analytic memos, and analytic writing. The workshop content and participatory exercises are designed to provide participants with a sampling of analytic approaches to non-numeric data. These approaches can be utilized with written and oral empirical materials for research, practice, and professional development. The workshop is targeted to graduate students and novices to qualitative research.

Handouts will be distributed to participants prior to the workshop and PowerPoint slides are emailed as a PDF to the workshop participants AFTER the workshop.

The registration fee for this workshop is $65. This is separate from the conference registration and will be limited to the first 140 registrants. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. Please visit the pre-conference workshop page below for more information and to register.
