Foundations of Thematic Analysis in Mixed Methods Research

Offers a crucial and much-needed bridge between thematic analysis and mixed methods research. While both approaches are widely used and well served by existing methodological texts, no book has yet examined how they are most effectively combined, despite thematic analysis frequently forming a core component of mixed methods studies.

This book offers a crucial and much-needed bridge between thematic analysis and mixed methods research. While both approaches are widely used and well served by existing methodological texts, no book-length work has yet examined how they are most effectively combined, despite thematic analysis frequently forming a core component of mixed methods studies. Addressing this gap, the book provides a clear, accessible, conceptually rigorous and practically grounded account of thematic analysis as it is variously designed, conducted, and integrated within mixed methods research. Written for advanced postgraduate and doctoral students as well as more experienced researchers, the book has strong interdisciplinary appeal and is intended to support readers in critically and confidently applying thematic analysis within mixed methods design.
