The last month has been an extremely busy but very exciting time for me, as I have finally started some of my analysis! After the tedious task of transcribing (which truly seems never-ending at times), I’ve been tasked with analysing some of the key themes coming through my early data (for the first 9 interviews) and – crucially – identified anything that is unexpected, new or missing. This is so important as it would be unwise to simply do all the interviews and then start analysing, only to realise the data is not rich enough or is not answering the research questions, for example. Research is a much more iterative, circular and – dare I say it! – messy process, always adapting and learning… I’m so excited to see what themes emerge from the data as I start to pull it all together!
