A Companion to Qualitative Analysis: Theory and Practice of Thick Analysis

Qualitative analysis resembles a puzzle; you are confronted with a heap of data and you find yourself wondering: what should I do next? Ideally, you have already started the analysis before the amount of data becomes overwhelming. However, realistically, qualitative research inevitably generates a large amount of data that requires thorough organization, interpretation, combination and manipulation.

A Companion to Qualitative Analysis introduces the concept of Thick analysis, a triangulation strategy that enables you to systematically examine your data from a broad perspective to get the most out of your research. Part I of the book provides a theoretical overview of different analysis methods, the use of QDAS (qualitative data analysis software), ethical considerations and quality demands. Part II illustrates what the combination of different analyses of the same dataset by several researchers yields. And this is what Thick analysis is about!

Jeanine Evers wants to challenge you to think and grow, while reading and rereading, to understand what Thick analysis might mean for your own research. The book is appropriate for PhD, Master and Bachelor students and researchers in different phases of their career.
