DESCRIPTION:Content\, Conversation\, Discourse\, Multimodal\, Narrative\, 
 Rhetorical\, Stylistic\, Thematic…Analysis. You might have encountered a
  few of these approaches to qualitative data in educational research alrea
 dy\, perhaps also in studying English language\, literature or linguistics
 . They imbue activities such as reading (and re-reading) a policy document
  or interview transcript with an appealing air of empiricism\, even positi
 vism. They can seem like a lifesaver if you’re working in an environment
  that favours such epistemologies. But how far can you get in the social s
 ciences\, particularly educational research\, with close reading? … that
  ill-defined activity at the core of English studies. I will answer this d
 rawing on my educational research that pairs close-reading with other meth
 ods\, such as survey\, or combines close-reading literary and non-literary
  texts. These include picturebooks\, television\, theatre reviews\, websit
 es\, YA literature and YouKu videos. I will offer tips for explaining what
  you’re doing and how\, when you put close-reading at the heart of your 
 project. Difficulty with articulating this\, rather than doing the close-r
 eading\, is arguably what makes undertaking close-reading as an educationa
 l research method most perilous.\n\nhttps://teams.microsoft.com/dl/launche
