Do you ever read qualitative social science; sociology, psychology, criminology, and the like, and get a sense that the methods just don't give enough insight into what actually happened? Yep, me to, esp in relation to where scholars' ideas came from. More here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Abstract
This essay takes aim at normal academic practice in interpretative analysis. Specifically,
the ways methodological discussions are often stilted, wooden and don’t sufficiently
attempt to trace the intellectual journeys which scholars have traveled to arrive at their
understandings. Based on this I consider some of the epistemological under-laboring
that sits at the foundation of social scientific analysis of much qualitative data. With a
sound understanding of what it means to understand, we can grasp something of the
“rational shadow” that is often cast over the realities of human knowledge production.
That is because, while we scholars might organize our time so that we can have a
moment when we are “doing our analysis,” such a moment, when understood as a
bounded, linear and rational event or series of progressive steps, is an epistemological
fiction. It is, then, more rational to acknowledge the diffuse, tacit, and non-rational
features of human understanding, and build methodological and analytic strategies
which lean into these realities. And, in that regard, we can provide a more rational
analysis of our relatively rational analysis.
Keywords
interpretative analysis, research philosophy, understanding, epistemology, knowledge

Well, online qualitative surveys were a nice method while they lasted...

(I presented a paper at last year's @euroqualpsy.bsky.social conference arguing data from online qual surveys didn't necessarily have to be analysed using TA, but that applying an affective-discursive lens was valid. Oh well.)

Seungju Kim (he/him) @follhim.github.io · Mar 13

#uhoh Looks like OpenAI can take surveys for you… how are we going to stop this?? It’s currently only for “Pro Users” ($200/month) but eventually roll out.

Big threat to survey research

2 of 3 reviewers on my interpretive qualitative paper want intercoder reliability tests, random sample to prevent selection bias, tables w/counts, comparison to those not interviewed, & generalizability. If you are NOT qualified to review qualitative research, please say no to the journal's request.
