Subjectivity, context and contradictions in social phone use and phubbing: a thematic analysis Investigations into mobile phone use in social situations have focused on its effects on individuals and groups and attempted to identify causal factors. Less is known about how individuals define,...

I'm delighted for my former student/supervisee as our #thematicanalysis paper based on her dissertation is now available online.

The contradictions in explanations of phone use were intriguing and made us reflect on our own behaviour.

Reflexivity: How to actually do it Written by Tracy Morison. Let’s be honest: reflexivity is one of the most overused and under-explained terms in qualitative research. We all say we’re being reflexive—often in a neat little paragraph in the methodology section—but what does that actually look like in practice? This post is a practical (and hopefully honest) attempt to answer that question.

We often hear students lamenting that they're conducting an interpretative phenomenological analysis #ipa #research project, but that their supervisor isn't too familiar with IPA and hasn't published themselves.

If this resonates with you, what would help with your research project?
