Paul Mihas: Co-Editor, Analyzing and Interpreting Qualitative Research: After the Interview

  In this interview with Michelle Angelo-Rocha, Paul Mihas discusses his hopes for the book. Paul and his co-editors, Charles Vanover and Johnny Saldaña, created a text on the how-to aspects of qualitative data analysis. The field’s leaders and emerging voices describe what they do to engage with their data after the interview: from transcription to coding to analytic and interpretive practices to write up.  Each chapter shows what happens in “the qualitative kitchen” and describes each contributor’s efforts to prepare their data, one messy detail at a time. Paul emphasizes for teachers of qualitative research, the book provides strong examples of many analytic and interpretive practices: readers will be able to see how the work gets done in 25 qualitative kitchens. Every chapter is written from a love for qualitative research and is intended to inspire readers to try out new recipes and take new steps on the qualitative journey.
