Many beginning #qualitative researchers are overly concerned that they are doing analysis "wrong". Here are some activities that can help people to think qualitatively & practice analysis in playful ways. These and other techniques will be expanded in my 3rd edition qual book.

A really great paper by @ItsCPhoenix and @SarahBell85 which explores physical activity, health, wellbeing and ageing. A great call to rethink how we might think, frame and communicate about physical activity promotion. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
