[Air-L] Doing qualitative research which addresses inequalities in times of social distancing

[Helen Kennedy]

Hello all



Many of us are currently facing challenges as we seek to carry out
qualitative research which addresses inequalities under socially distanced
conditions. Lots of people are thinking creatively about how to overcome
these challenges, and we’re aware of a number of events, webinars and
discussions on this topic that have taken place.



We are gathering together resources on this topic (including recordings of
webinars, if available), which we will share publicly on our Living With
Data <https://livingwithdata.org/> project website in August. We will
include general resources about doing qualitative research in socially
distant times (such as Doing fieldwork in a pandemic
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1clGjGABB2h2qbduTgfqribHmog9B6P0NvMgVuiHZCl8/edit?ts=5e88ae0a>),
but we are especially interested in resources relating to inequalities
research, covering, for example, researching with marginalised, minoritised
or hard-to-reach groups and communities, or facilitating qualitative
research with diverse groups (including diversity in groups, eg in relation
to race, class, culture, language, lived experience, politics,
accessibility).



Please can you share resources with us by emailing Elisa Serafinelli (
e.serafinelli at sheffield.ac.uk Research Associate @ the University of
Sheffield). We will then collate and share them.



Best wishes
