Qualitative Research Resource of the Week

Durham University's Writing Across Boundaries is a site dedicated to supporting social science researchers who wish to engage more effectively with the practical and intellectual issues that arise in the quest to produce engaging, accurate and analytically insightful texts involving the use of qualitative data. The broad objective of this project is to raise the quality of the written output of social science doctoral researchers using qualitative methodologies. Through their educational offerings they will explore the relationship between data collection, analysis and interpretation and how these are connected in the act of writing. Their website also features resources, web links, references, news, book reviews, events listings, conferences, and an online discussion group.
