CIRA Presents: Qualitative Research Discussion Group: "Roundtable on Codebook Development Issues"

Roundtable Description:

The purpose of this session is to share strategies for the development and use of codebooks in qualitative research. The session will include a 5-minute presentation by each of the 10 members of the roundtable on topics that include members' approaches to the coding process, working on multi-disciplinary and -cultural teams, coding frameworks, and much more.

Overview:

The goal of the Qualitative Research Discussion Group (QRDG) is to provide opportunities for individuals involved in qualitative or mixed-methods research to meet regularly to discuss the qualitative research process and potentially problem-solve issues that may arise when engaged in qualitative research. Discussion topics include, but are not limited to: logistics, data management, analysis, dissemination, role of the researcher, and ethics. It is intended as a venue for discussing research in progress and new or relevant literature on qualitative methods and practice as well as to create networking opportunities and foster research collaborations. CIRA's Interdisciplinary Research Methods (IRM) Core Core member, Lauretta Grau, PhD, is coordinating the meetings. She can be reached at lauretta.grau@yale.edu.
