[Air-L] Now available: resource on doing qualitative research on inequalities during Covid-19

[Helen Kennedy]

Hello all

Back in July we made a call for resources on the topic of doing qualitative
research which addresses inequalities during Covid-19. The aim was to
gather resources about doing qualitative research in socially distant times
with a particular focus on 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).

We are now pleased to announce that the resources we identified have been
gathered together on the Living with Data
<https://livingwithdata.org/resources/doing-qualitative-research-which-addresses-inequalities-in-times-of-social-distancing/>
website. The page lists resources that have been shared with us and that we
have found. Many more fit into the ‘general resources’ category than the
‘resources relating to inequalities research’ category, but we hope that
these general resources are nonetheless helpful to people researching
inequalities.

We noticed that there was limited discussion of the pros and cons of using
different platforms for qualitative research, especially with regard to
inequalities and inclusivity. If any of you have experiences of this, or
resources to pass on, we would be very interested/grateful.

We would like to thank everyone who suggested resources and welcome further
recommendations, as we will be updating this resource for the remainder of
2020.

Many thanks,

Hannah Ditchfield, Elisa Serafinelli and Helen Kennedy
