If you have particular questions, the best person to ask is a mentor or colleagues who is experienced in qualitative methods. You can also consult published books & articles, many of which are referenced on QFRN’s webpage. There are also several websites, posted by various organizations. For example, some forums are linked to particular software packages, such as:

• QSR NVivo
• Atlas.ti

Other institutions have also set up forums. These include:

• University of Colorado Denver (predominantly medical, but also social and family)
• LinkedIn has a forum for online qualitative research

In addition to online forums, there are other institutions and conferences that offer training in qualitative methods, including:

• International Institute for Qualitative Methodology
• International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry

Finally, the Qualitative Family Research Network hosts or promotes sessions dealing with aspects of qualitative family scholarship at the Annual Meeting of NCFR. In the past, these have explored teaching, research,  and/or theory related to qualitative family research. Look for QFRN and for sessions related to qualitative methods in the schedule of the Annual Meeting!
