Abstract
In this presentation, Dr. Ralph LaRossa, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, and Dr. Mandy Swygart-Hobaugh, Librarian Associate Professor for Sociology, Gerontology, & Data Services, present both the theoretical-methodological “logics” and the applied-methodological “logistics” of conducting qualitative data analysis (i.e., non-statistical analysis of textual, audio, visual, and/or audiovisual sources). Dr. LaRossa discusses the steps involved in building theoretically-rich qualitative analyses. Dr. Swygart-Hobaugh highlights the specific features of NVivo qualitative research software that complement and facilitate these analyses.
The presentation is best viewed using the PowerPoint Slide Show mode, as many of the individual slides have animation effects.
