Our next Research Roundtables for IPA researchers (#doctoral or #masters) start mid-October. Ongoing support, motivation and expert advice to complement supervision. Learn more on our website: sites.google.com/view/qualaca... #interpretativephenomenologicalanalysis #qualitativeresearch
"Am I doing IPA right?". In this blog post, we explore what that question represents and how asking it might highlight new opportunities during research. #interpretativephenomenologicalanalysis #QualitativeResearch #researchdesign #DoctoralResearch #MastersResearch sites.google.com/view/qualaca...
It's understandable why initial IPA research drafts mention 'exploring experiences'. Unpick the meaning and aims to develop stronger research designs. #interpretativephenomenologicalanalysis #researchproposal #researchdesign #DoctoralResearch #mastersresearchproposal #qualitativeresearch

Designing semi-structured interview guides for interpretative phenomenological analysis and reflexive thematic analysis: a practical guide
Semi-structured interviews are the most common data generation strategy for many qualitative research approaches. While there is copious advice about the “what” of interview questions (types, phras...

Interpretative phenomenological analysis is popular, but that doesn't make it the best fit for every project, and that's fine. Think critically about whether IPA works best for your research with these 3 #interpretativephenomenologicalanalysis #researchdesign #qualitativeresearch #doctoralresearch

This workshop links concepts about IPA with practical study design. We consider creative ideas that impress examiners and avoid common pitfalls. www.eventbrite.com/o/qual-acade... #interpretativephenomenologicalanalysis #researchdesign #qualitativemethods #doctoralresearch #mastersresearch
Sometimes, an IPA results section doesn't quite feel right. That's stressful, but use that feeling to drill down into what's happening for a stronger analysis.... #interpretativephenomenologicalanalysis #qualitativeresearch #doctoralresearch #mastersresearch

Preparing for your qualitative doctoral viva
We’ll discuss common concerns about vivas, explain our experiences as examiners, and give suggestions of preparatory work students can do.

We learn about the ideals of research and how it 'should' be. The messiness of real research is a worrying surprise. 'What it's like' papers can set your mind at rest, so ask in the comments if you'd like ideas. #qualitativeresearch #researchdesign #doctoralstudents #mastersresearch
Students can often engage better with reflexive practice in written work (demonstrating understanding of the concept or exploring it meaningfully) or during analysis. #qualitativeresearch #reflexivity #interpretativephenomenologicalanalysis sites.google.com/view/qualaca...
A blank piece of paper is challenging: where to start and is it 'right'. Today's tip from a participant in one of our Research Roundtables. This tip also shows the benefits of meeting with others and sharing ideas, expertise and experiences. #writingtips #doctoralresearch #qualitativeresearch

Funny that I just published a blog post about finding community in student research, then saw this article.
‘Community makes all the difference – if it does not find you, you need to find it’ Laura Kövécs, from the @bpsofficial.bsky.social Student Committee, reflects on connection and contribution; with introductory and closing comments from BPS President Roman Raczka. www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...
Conducting independent qualitative research can feel isolated. Research Roundtables give community and conversation to motivate and inspire you and help progress your research. #qualitativeresearch #students #doctoral #masters #undergraduate #researchprojects sites.google.com/view/qualaca...
