Fellows Café: Using Qualitative Methods to Study New-to-the-Literature Phenomena (Session# 222166)

Chair: Rebecca Reuber, University of Toronto

There have been calls for IB research to encompass a greater diversity of phenomena, including emerging topics like digitization and under-studied geographic regions. Qualitative methods are well-suited to providing conceptualizations and interpretations of new-to-the-literature empirical settings. However, researchers may encounter a "messiness" they did not anticipate when using methods developed in more familiar settings. In this Café we will discuss challenges researchers may face and how they may be managed.
