Coding Isn’t Just a Step — It’s an Analytic Stance

Qualitative coding is often misunderstood as a mechanical or neutral phase of research. But in reality, coding is a thinking practice — one that reflects your methodological commitments, analytic goals, and epistemological stance.

This free 1-hour webinar is for anyone looking to approach coding with more clarity, coherence, and conceptual rigour.

Whether you’re coding for the first time, leading a research team, or teaching qualitative methods, this session will equip you to make defensible, methodologically aligned coding decisions — and avoid the conceptual mismatches that can weaken analysis.

What we’ll cover

What Coding Really Is
A clear, practical definition of qualitative coding as an interpretive, sense-making process — not just a data management step.

Coding Logics: Inductive, Deductive, Abductive
Explore the different logics of coding and what they enable — and constrain — in your analysis.

Strategic Coding, Not Recipe-Following
Understand how coding can reflect and serve your analytic purpose, rather than forcing your data into rigid structures.

Codebooks: When and Why They Matter
Clarify the role of codebooks, when structure supports rigour, and how different methodologies approach coding.

Who should attend?

• PhD students and early-career qualitative researchers
• Educators or supervisors teaching qualitative methods
• Research teams engaging in applied, policy, or practice-focused qualitative work
• Anyone who has ever felt uncertain about how — or why — to code

---

Why attend?

If you’ve ever:

• Felt overwhelmed by coding
• Questioned whether your coding meet the standards of high-quality qualitative analysis
• Found yourself stuck between open-ended and highly structured coding
• Wondered if your coding approach really fits your methodology

…this webinar will give you the conceptual clarity to move forward with confidence.

We’ll also share details of upcoming training opportunities for those ready to go deeper.
