Honestly, no; I should figure that out, hence the need for a good book. I read about qualitative research up until designing interviews (the rest of it didn't really make sense yet, at that point). My interviews were semi-structured, in the sense that I explored a set of topics, using open-ended questions. I didn't really analyze things as I went along, but I did tweak my interview schedule a bit after I had a rough impression of some relevant themes. It's certainly not going to be discourse analysis.
Hello!
I hope to start soon with the analysis of my interviews. I have 28 interview transcripts, which I plan on analyzing with NVivo. However, I have absolutely no previous experience with qualitative data analysis! For this reason, I would really appreciate your suggestions for books that I could consult. FYI, my PhD is in criminology.
Thanks!
