WORKSHOPS

Arts-based approaches to Data Analysis

Publishing qualitative research from a dissertation or a current study can be overwhelming. Multiple journals are unfriendly to qualitative research, or they are stuck in dated ideas, forgetting how the field has advanced. In this 90-120min interactive webinar, Dr. Bhattacharya will work with attendees to walk them through publication options for their work, and points of consideration for successful publication.

Data Analysis Via Coding

There are multiple ways of coding in qualitative research that can be confusing. With the invention of autocoding in softwares and Chat GPT, it is challenging to cultivate immersive data analysis experience. In this 90-120 minutes interactive webinar, you'll learn some options for coding, practice coding and receive feedback, and learn how to work from raw data to codes to categories, and ultimately generate themes.

De/colonial Approaches to Qualitative Research

I have been doing de/colonial work for a good 20+ years. In this webinar I share the fundamentals to get you started as you imagine de/coloniality as an ontoepistemolgy, methodology, and ethical framework. You don't need to be doing Indigenous work to de/colonize your methodology. It is all of our responsibility to not perpetuate colonialism. 

Healing From Impostor Syndrome Issues

In this interactive webinar, you will learn the nature of the effects impostor syndrome have on you, decide what kind of relationship you would like to have with impostor syndrome issues, and configure a path of neutralizing the detrimental effects impostor syndrome issues might have on your work and wellbeing. 

Narrative Approaches to Data Analysis

In this 90-120 minute interactive webinar, you'll learn how to think about different narrative approaches to analyze data, ethical and other methodological considerations, and hands-on experience in writing narratives for representing your findings.

You will receive copies of the slides, relevant articles, book chapters, and handouts in addition to access to a private community membership.

Publishing Qualitative Research

Publishing qualitative research from a dissertation or a current study can be overwhelming. Multiple journals are unfriendly to qualitative research, or they are stuck in dated ideas, forgetting how the field has advanced. In this 90-120min interactive webinar, Dr. Bhattacharya will work with attendees to walk them through publication options for their work, and points of consideration for successful publication.

Ritualistic Writing Practices

Writing often is a challenge for many people. In this 90-120 min interactive webinar, Dr. Bhattacharya will discuss some of the most successful approaches to cultivating writing rituals especially for those who suffer from anxiety, stress, depression, ADD, ADHD, and procrastination to be in the flow of their work and cultivate compelling intrinsic motivation.

Setting up a qualitative research project

A recorded Zoom webinar with Dr. Kakali Bhattacharya to unpack how to set up a qualitative research design aligned with your purpose, questions, and theoretical frameworks. You receive the recording of the webinar, interactive handouts, and PDF of the presentation.

Theorizing Qualitative Research

 Theorizing often feels vague or a detached process for many in academia. In this 90-120 min webinar, Dr. Bhattacharya will discuss how to theorize utilizing your vibes and worldview, talent, creativity, and critical reflexivity.

By the end of the webinar, attendees will experience a variety of approaches to analyze theorize from qualitative research data utilizing visual tools and more.

Storytelling As Research

Explore storytelling as qualitative research in this 90-minute workshop with Dr. Kakali Bhattacharya. Learn to balance narrative depth with methodological rigor, analyze story data for publication, and create meaningful research. Includes a recording, slides, resources, and a live Q&A—ideal for scholars, graduate students, and educators.

Approaches to Critical Autoethnography

Participants will explore the foundations of critical autoethnography and what distinguishes it as both a methodological and creative practice. We will examine different types of storytelling, consider cultural situatedness and scholarly connections, and engage ethical and methodological questions that shape rigorous qualitative work. Participants will also learn how to write creatively while maintaining credibility and coherence in their research.

Arts-Based Analysis in Qualitative Research

In this session, participants will learn how to conceptualize creativity as a form of inquiry and how to integrate creative approaches into data analysis. We will explore ways to justify non-traditional forms of data analysis and identify analytic elements drawn from established examples. Participants will also engage in interactive approaches to arts-based data analysis while developing strategies for navigating barriers and establishing credibility in their work.

From Codes to Themes: Data Analysis with Clarity, Confidence, and Coherence

In this session, participants will learn how to generate meaningful codes from raw data and clearly distinguish between codes, categories, and themes. We will explore how to move from detailed coding to broader patterns, build a visual theme map, and make confident, defensible analytic decisions. Participants work with their own data—or a provided dataset—and leave with a process tailored to their specific field rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Understanding and Building Theoretical and Conceptual Frameworks

Participants will distinguish between theoretical, conceptual, and other framework types and determine which their study requires. They will build a conceptual framework from data or literature, identify key domains and their relationships, and create a visual representation. The workshop also includes practice applying the framework to real text, leaving participants with clarity about how their frameworks guide their research in practice.

The Art and Craft of Narrative Writing

Participants will develop craft skills for narrative research, including scene creation, effective dialogue, voice differentiation, and storytelling structure. The workshop explores thick description, showing versus telling, integrating quotes, pacing, and layering the researcher’s voice with participant data. Attention is also given to methodological clarity across autoethnography, duoethnography, and personal narrative, and participants leave with new pages of their own writing and the tools to continue.
