Colleagues,
I am preparing for some teaching next year. I am interested in presenting
to a gorup of postgraduate qualitative research students some ideas on
longitudinal qualitiative studies. I am not interested in studies where
some qualitative work preceeded a longituidnal survey or other quantitative
approach, but studies where the 'longitudinal' refers to qualitative
methods of one form or another.
I would like to ask for some help. If you have some ideas about exemplary,
or even worthwhile in parts, qualitative longitudinal studies I will be
very pleased to hear from you and to receive the appropriate reference. As
I will be dealing with people from across the qualitative spectrum, I am
interested in a range of disciplines and methodologies. Also, I would hope
that readers would not be too humble and so withhold references to their
own longitudinal qualitative studies.
I will compile these into a list and read through them over the (southern
hemisphere) end-of-year break. To those who submit references I will ensure
that a full list of references I receive is sent on to all contributors.
If readers choose to annotate references itelling me how they were
exemplary or where they were worthy of note, I would consider that a great
help and a bonus!
I look forward to some lively discussion and the fruitful swapping of ideas.
Roger Vallance
