Description: This workshop will introduce students to qualitative data analysis using MAXQDA software. Students will learn how to import and organize their text data; develop and implement thematic “codes” to classify text segments and discover emergent patterns; and build their empirical “story” by writing analytic memos and synthesizing codes. We will also explore several tools in MAXQDA that help researchers “see” and chart patterns in their data.
