Participants will be introduced to the epistemology that underpins interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA,) discuss research questions and IPA interview/focus group schedule design, review the stages involved in analysis, and have time to work through a given data set at a level ‘beyond description’. We will have time for questions and signpost participants to valuable resources.
