How qualitative data analysis happens: moving beyond 'themes emerged' (1st)

How is qualitative data actually collected, analyzed and accomplished?

This book offers an in-depth look into how qualitative social science researchers studying family issues and dynamics approach their data analyses.

It moves beyond the usual vague statement of 'themes emerged from the data' to show readers how researchers actively and consciously arrive at their themes and conclusions, revealing the complexity and time involved in making sense of thousands of pages of interview data, multiple data sources and diverse types of data.
