Скачать или смотреть Webinar: A Systematic Approach to Analyzing Visual and Textual Data

In this interactive presentation, Nicole will present a framework she calls “Systematic Visuo-Textual Analysis,” developed to provide a way for qualitative researchers to analyse photographs or other visual data in combination with interviews and captions.

After a brief outline of the problem that researchers encounter when analyzing combined data from interviews along with photographs, artefacts, collages, maps or drawings, Nicole will present the framework she has developed (and published on) to address this challenge. In breakout rooms, participants will apply their learning to an example from Nicole’s research and discuss the framework’s benefits and challenges. In closing, Nicole will present on the framework’s theoretical and philosophical foundations and outline key considerations for "good" Systematic Visuo-Textual Analysis.

Laura Lorenz learned about Nicole’s work at The Qualitative Report annual conference in January 2021.
