Workshop Details

Part 1

In the first part of the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to share case studies in which they used different approaches to analyse qualitative data that has implications for design and, in particular, how they adapted existing qualitative data analysis approaches to support them in moving from data to design.

In particular, this workshop will focus on adaptations of:

Thematic Analysis

Grounded Theory

Activity Theory.


Part 2

In the second part, participants will work in groups to discuss in more depth the rationale for adapting their chosen method(s) and how they overcame challenges associated with applying each approach for informing design in the context of their research.

This workshop is an opportunity, for researchers and practitioners alike, to share and discuss work, ideas and challenges revolving around rigorous data collection, analysis and design-specific outcomes. After the workshop, attendees will be given the opportunity to contribute to a journal paper on the theme of moving from qualitative data to design insight. This would entail further collaborative work and additional writing up following a prescribed structure.
