Learn how to conduct Reflexive Thematic Analysis using Dedoose features and workflows designed to support Braun and Clarke's established framework. This hands-on webinar demonstrates how Dedoose facilitates each phase of thematic analysis—from initial familiarization through theme development and refinement.
Our PhD team will guide you through the practical application to map thematic analysis onto Dedoose.
Framework and Foundation
Understanding Braun and Clarke's six-phase approach to thematic analysis and how Dedoose features align with methodologically sound practices at each stage of the analytical process.
Systematic Coding Techniques
Developing initial codes, organizing patterns across your dataset, and maintaining consistency through codebook management tools that support transparent, defensible analytical decisions.
Theme Development and Refinement
Moving from codes to meaningful themes, reviewing and refining thematic structures, and utilizing Dedoose visualization and analysis tools to identify patterns and relationships within your data.
Quality and Rigor
Implementing strategies that strengthen the credibility of your analysis and ease the documentation ofyour analytical process.
This webinar is designed for researchers conducting thematic analysis who want to leverage Dedoose effectively. Whether you're a graduate student planning your dissertation analysis, an experienced qualitative researcher new to the platform, or a research team establishing shared analytical protocols, this training demonstrates how systematic tool use supports methodological integrity.
If it is your first time trying Dedoose, we strongly encourage participants to sign up for a free Dedoose trial account before the webinar. For those who have a Dedoose account, we encourage you to bring a project you are working on to follow along with the hands-on demonstrations during the training to apply these techniques to your own research.
If you are unfamiliar with Braun and Clarke's framework or would like a refresher, we recommend their book "Thematic Analysis: A Practical Guide" (available here).
