Abstract

Dissertation research processes can become tedious and never ending. It becomes too easy to fall over the cliff. Beginning with line-by-line coding and ending with themes, there are multiple paths, pitfalls and rabbit holes waiting to trip you up. It can be difficult to stay focused. This workshop will share the experiences of this author when more than 200 emergent categories were reduced into 8 salient themes. How does bias and preconceived notion play into the process? This workshop will illuminate some of the challenges of wrestling with the data to support the purest voices of the research which emerge from the data.
