Strategies for Coding and Categorizing Data: After the Interview: Edited Zoom Video from ICQI 2021: May 22, 2021, Session # 5.22.10 
• Coding System Design and Management—Daniel Turner
• A Priori and Inductive Approaches—Andrea J. Bingham & Patricia Witkowsky
• Analyzing and Coding Interviews and Focus Groups considering Cross-Cultural and Cross-Language Data--Elsa M. Gonzalez & Yvonna S. Lincoln
• Discussant: Paul Mihas 
• Chair: Charles Vanover
• Editor: Trace Taylor

This panel addresses systematic approaches to qualitative data analysis, including the use of software as an analytic tool. The panelists provide guidance in using codes and other forms of categorization strategies as evocative symbol systems of meaning. Daniel Turner discusses the practices of designing and building coding systems. Andrea Bingham and Patricia Witkowsky discuss how different research goals and questions might result in the use of different inductive and deductive coding strategies. They use longitudinal qualitative case study data to illustrate how balancing inductive and deductive strategies can help researchers maintain focus on the purpose of the research and the paradigmatic, theoretical, and conceptual lenses through which the research is being viewed. Elsa M. Gonzalez and Yvonna S. Lincoln present strategies to address the analysis of data with a cross-cultural and cross-language origin using, as methods of data analysis, content analysis and constant-comparative analysis. They describe how to use interview data shared in one language, in this case Spanish, for research written in another language, in this case, English.
