Hi all,
I am using ethnographic methods and have carried out 10 months of participant observation, all written up as field notes and currently being analysed thematically (those who are thinking that is far two simplistic, don't worry, it's totally appropriate and justified) and I'm half way through conducting semi-structured interviews. Once these are done I will also be using thematic analyse on this data set.
My question is about a method of presenting this data which allows me to tell some sort of story, either a month in the field setting, or a story of a particular participant etc. The idea behind this is that I don't want to simply chop the data up and lose it's sense as a whole. A reviewer in my progression meeting suggested vignettes, so I wanted to know what you guys would suggest?
Thank you!
