Data Bee<\/strong> and Discourse Bee<\/strong> are groups facilitated by PGR students in the College of Medicine and Health. We meet together regularly to share qualitative data and discuss ideas.<\/em><\/p>\n

We set up the groups as we were all looking for ways to improve our data analysis, problem solve issues that arise out of our data and \u2018check-in\u2019 on our thinking about the work we\u2019re doing. We meet every fortnight or so and have looked at interview data, focus groups, naturally occurring data and even film clips. Nothing is off the table.<\/p>\n

The groups work like this: one person brings along some data in the form of a transcript and (ideally) an anonymised sound or video file. The presenter explains a little about their project and their stage of analysis and what they\u2019d like to get from the session. We listen to the extract and then take ten minutes or so to re-read the transcript and make any notes. We then discuss interesting features of the data which might include potential themes, areas of discursive interest or our emotional responses to the data. We encourage each other to root all our comments in the data \u2013 it\u2019s easy to let the data trigger our own favourite thoughts and theories \u2013 and to listen well to each other so we can build on points that are made. Sometimes we disagree on our interpretations of the data, and this can lead to a good reflective discussion on how we can see data differently.<\/p>\n

Data Bee tends towards working with thematic analysis (although this is led by the researcher bringing data) whilst Discourse Bee (as you might imagine) is rooted in types of discourse analysis, primarily conversation analysis.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re always open to new people coming along and find that a new voice can really help to challenge habitual ways of thinking. Those of us who attend regularly have found it\u2019s a great way to expand our thinking about data, learn from others and also get informal feedback on our work, without the pressure of delivering a PowerPoint!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to go on our mailing lists, do get in touch. Alternatively if you\u2019d like to set up a group in your own department, we\u2019re happy to chat with you about the benefits and pitfalls.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re also running a qualitative data analysis event in Exeter in May \u2013 working title Doing Quality Qualitative Research – with support from Exeter\u2019s Researcher-led Initiative Awards, The British Sociological Association and The British Psychological Society. Follow us on Twitter to keep up with progress.<\/p>\n
