Reviews

Expanding Approaches to Thematic Analysis delivers an invitation: to engage with creative and contemporary thematic analysis variations and to experiment and experience patterns, threads, resonances, and various contours of thematic possibilities in qualitative inquiry and beyond. An invitation to become activated and surprised! --Mirka Koro, Arizona State University Written by an impressive team of qualitative researchers, Expanding Approaches to Thematic Analysis is a much needed and timely book. It puts the emphasis on the need to think about what thematic analysis is, and what it might be, rather than reducing it to a form of instrumental coding and a discussion of how to do that coding. This shift of emphasis opens new and different possibilities for thematic analysis to realize its full potential and contribute to rich and nuanced interpretations (not just descriptions) in qualitative inquiries. Practical examples are provided of how such potential has, and might be, realized thereby grounding the discussion in the reality of undertaking this type of research. This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in thematic analysis and how best to use it. --Julianne Cheek, Østfold University College Expanding Approaches to Thematic Analysis is a must-read for anyone engaged with qualitative data. With a wide array of compelling works that explore innovation, creativity, and imagination in the approach to qualitative data analysis, this book addresses a long-awaited intellectual demand among aspiring qualitative researchers. Each chapter not only demonstrates cutting-edge thoughts but also serves as an inspiration to move beyond the limited realm of conducting qualitative data analysis. The editors of the book thoughtfully brought eminent contributors together to make an outstanding contribution to the ever-evolving field of qualitative research. --Jeong-Hee Kim, Texas Tech University Expanding Approaches to Thematic Analysis: Creative Engagements with Qualitative Data is a much-needed addition to thinking on thematic analysis in qualitative inquiry for researchers working from a range of theoretical perspectives. The collection of chapters and short narratives representing “methodologies in action” provide a bountiful set of resources demonstrating thoughtful, artful, and inventive ways to contemplate what thematic analysis is and does, and how it might be enacted. Both philosophical and practical, the edited volume collectively represents an impressive array of approaches to thematic analysis. Read, learn, and be inspired! --Kathryn Roulston, University of Georgia In this far-reaching engagement with the practices and politics of thematic analysis, contributors provide crucial interventions that move beyond coding. From annotating and diagramming to poetry, art-making, and performance – as well as a whole host of other approaches -- contributors seek new possibilities and inventive ways forward in the practical, conceptual, theoretical, and empirical aspects of thematic analysis. Whether you are a novice student or a seasoned researcher, Expanding Approaches to Thematic Analysis will be a must-read addition to your methods library. --Michael Giardina, Florida State University

"""The authors of Expanding Approaches to Thematic Analysis have taken a common topic in qualitative inquiry and have given it a magnificent makeover.
