Qualitative Data Sharing Workshop (bring your data!)

To provide a collaborative, hands-on space for qualitative researchers to share data from current or developing projects, receive feedback from colleagues, and begin exploring approaches to analysis. Participants should bring their qualitative data sets at whatever stage they may exist at this point (planning stage, collecting, or actively analyzing). This is a workshop format rather than a lecture so come prepared to share, collaborate, and engage with fellow researchers at UT Tyler.
