Slides delivered as a part of #CAQDAS14.
In 1989 the Department of Sociology at the University of Surrey convened the world's first conference on qualitative software, which brought together qualitative methodologists and software developers who debated the pros and cons of the use of technology for qualitative data analysis. The result was a book (Fielding & Lee (1991) Using Computers in Qualitative Research, Sage Publications), the setting-up of the CAQDAS Networking Project and many other conferences concerning the topics over the years.
This conference will be another opportunity for methodologists, developers and researchers to come together and debate the issues.There will be keynote papers by leading experts in the field, software support clinics and opportunities to present work in progress.
