Virtual Study Group: Coding Methods for Qualitative Research

[Linda Essig]

Dear Colleagues:

The third meeting of the Cultural Research Network Virtual Study Group will take place on Monday January 13, 2014 1pm-2pm EST. Any CRN member may participate in this live session by registering HERE.

Part book club, part shoptalk, these virtual study group sessions offer cultural researchers an opportunity to engage in discussion with fellow practitioners. Each session is devoted to a specific study, report, journal article, or in this case, methodological process. The author and/or sponsor of the research will be on-hand to offer framing remarks and answer questions.

 

The subject of this Virtual Study Group session is coding methodology for qualitative researchers. 

 

Based on workshops he has given for researchers from a diverse array of fields, Johnny Saldaña will present an overview of coding methods that can be adapted for almost any qualitative research situation.  In preparation for the Virtual Study Group, Johnny has shared a chapter manuscript from his forthcoming contribution to The Oxford Handbook of Qualitative Research Methods, edited by Patricia Leavy. See attached.

Johnny Saldaña is the Evelyn Smith Professor of Theatre in the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts’ School of Film, Dance, and Theatre at Arizona State University.  His most recent books include:

I've really been enjoying lurking around on this group.

I had an unusual request from a colleague in NYC government wanting to identify programs or research looking at the transformative/empowering potential of art within disadvantaged communities -- particularly within the context of cash assistance ("welfare") programs.  Could an arts intervention promote better employment outcomes for (certain groups of) cash assistance clients by building self-esteem and peer support?  By increasing engagement with employment services providers?

If you're familiar with any such please let me know.  With the change in administration here in NYC, we may have an opportunity to embed the arts in new ways that go far beyond the traditional western canon.  

Thanks and looking forward to your thoughts,

Mike

Hi Michael,

You should check out the Assets for Artists program conceived by MASS MoCA’s Blair Benjamin. I believe he’s working with Esther Robinson on it as well, and they’ve even done an evaluation (featuring a control group! though it’s not randomized) of their progress.

Best,

Ian
