Braun and Clarke - FAQs answered!

Thank you so much for this amazing and informative video. I’m currently conducting a systematic review of qualitative studies. I’m wondering if it would be appropriate to use Burn and DeKlerk in my data analysis instead of Thomas's approach to thematic analysis: ?

Thanks for your comment, I have replied to the other comment you left on the Braun and Clarke video.

Great video, thank you! One thing that still confuses me is that RTA is a big Q approach, but it is said that it can fit with an essentialist theoretical orientation... I just don't get this.

Great question! Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The key thing to remember is that RTA, as a flexible method, can be applied across a range of theoretical frameworks, including essentialism. It can seem contradictory as RTA sits most comfortably within interpretivism, but this flexibility allows researchers to adapt RTA to suit their specific research needs and theoretical perspectives. I hope this helps clarify things!
