What Were you Thinking?: Developing Cognitive Sensibilities for Inductive Coding
8:00 – 10:30am
Saturday, August 11th
Sheraton Grand Chicago, Michigan A, B
Sponsoring Divisions: RM, MOC, OB
Are you interested in coding qualitative data, but are unsure how to begin? Have you ever wondered what experienced qualitative scholars think about when they sit down to code a piece of text? If so, please consider joining us for a PDW designed to build the cognitive skills necessary to inductively code qualitative data.
"What Were you Thinking?: Developing Cognitive Sensibilities for Inductive Coding" is a workshop aimed at providing the cognitive sensibilities to inductively code qualitative data. It aims to go beyond a mere "how-to" guide, by sharing tacit knowledge about how experienced qualitative scholars think when they code data, and how this changes throughout the process. This session will include presentations by established qualitative scholars with a range of research interests, as well as an expert-led roundtable component in which participants can ask more specific questions and discuss their coding experiences. To facilitate the roundtable discussions, participants will be asked to complete a brief pre-workshop coding exercise, which will be reviewed by their table facilitator prior to the workshop. This will enable the expert scholars to give guidance that is targeted to the existing competencies of workshop participants.
This is the second year the workshop is being offered at AOM, and we are thrilled to have another accomplished and diverse mix of qualitative scholars participating in the PDW. These facilitators include W. E. Douglas Creed, Colin Muneo Fisher, Sarah Kaplan, Davide Nicolini, E. Erin Powell, Bess Rouse, and Beth Schinoff.
Information on the application process:
Potential applicants: Anyone who is interested in developing the practice of inductive coding, regardless of previous qualitative research experience.
Submissions should include the following:
1. A brief summary of your research interests
2. A rank-ordered list of your preferred table facilitators
Submission deadline: 11:59pm on July 15th. Participants will be given a pre-registration code as soon as their materials are submitted on a first-come, first-served basis, and will receive their roundtable assignments and pre-workshop exercises in mid-July.
Please email all application material to Emily Rosado-Solomon at emily.rosado.solomon@rutgers.edu. You may also reach out to Emily with any questions you have about the session.
*Once all application materials are submitted, we will do our best to match participants to roundtables based on their expressed preferences and research interests.
