<p>"This comprehensive volume brings together key voices within the developmental and family sciences to demystify the process of how exactly one executes qualitative data analysis. Too often descriptions of qualitative data analysis strategies are vague, shrouded in jargon, or limited due to publication restrictions. Clearly, this collection of chapters is more than just a ‘how to’ of data analysis strategies, but also helps readers understand the decisions that are made every step of the way with regard to designing and carrying out qualitative research. Readers have a rare opportunity to learn how researchers respond to real life research conundrums and methodological challenges inherent in qualitative scholarship. I particularly appreciated ‘dialogue’ chapters devoted to critical issues that cut across a range of qualitative approaches such as reflexivity, the use of analytic software, and how to display findings. By tapping into the wisdom and experiences of those who have forged the trail and done the work, <i>How Data Analysis Happens</i> offers useful methodological tools that will help readers execute qualitative studies that are rigorous, thoughtful and wildly creative." - <b>Joyce A. Arditti, Ph.D., Professor of Human Development and Family Science, Virginia Tech, USA</b></p><p><em>"How Qualitative Data Analysis Happens: Moving Beyond "Themes Emerged"</em> pulls back the layers of qualitative research—giving the reader access to often concealed insights into qualitative research methodology. A rarity in our field, this collection of chapters tells the real stories of conducting qualitative methods: the starts and stops, the shifts, the decisions that contradict methodological "guidelines," and the infusion of our humanness into our science. I will use this book as a supplement to my graduate qualitative research class, as it will help students go deeper in their work and normalize the complexity inherent in all stages of qualitative methods." - <strong>Megan Haselschwerdt, Ph.D., </strong><strong>Department of Child and Family Studies, University of Tennessee, USA</strong></p>
