PhD Workshop: Approaches to Qualitative Analysis with Professor Ann Cunliffe

This workshop, for PhD students and staff, is hosted by the newly formed Organisation Studies (OS) Cluster at Sheffield University Management School.

In this workshop we will explore different ways of analyzing qualitative ‘data’. We will begin by discussing how our ontological and epistemological positioning influences data analysis and interpretation. We will then explore narrative, phenomenological, discursive and other forms of qualitative analysis. Participants are asked to come to the workshop prepared to discuss in small groups any ideas, questions, and/or examples of data analysis from their own work.
