Data analysis is often the most difficult task facing students and novice qualitative researchers, including Shane the Lone Ethnographer—a grad student with fond visions of the Wild West—and her horse Transcriptor. In this comic-style textbook, we follow Shane as she attempts to corral her data and make sense of it for publication. Shane learns how to read, sort, code, write, and assess the analysis of a qualitative study in the traditions of ethnography, grounded theory, discourse, and narrative analysis. Along the trail, she receives helpful advice from experienced researchers who explain their analytic practices in detail. Written in a friendly, comic book style, Shane’s Wild West adventures in data analysis will be both instructive and an enjoyable read.
Sally Campbell Galman is Associate Professor of Child and Family Studies in the School of Education at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, USA. She received her PhD from the University of Colorado at Boulder, USA and is a graduate of Grinnell College and Punahou School. An anthropologist of education, she is especially interested in how culture intersects with people's experiences of gender, childhood and care-work in primary schools and families. Galman is author of the introductory qualitative researcher textbook-as-comic Shane, the Lone Ethnographer: A Beginner's Guide to Ethnography, the research volume Wise and Foolish Virgins: White Women at Work in the Feminized World of Primary School Teaching, and numerous articles in scholarly journals.
