Aimee has a strong interest in using documents as data. She is still learning about the many different ways that others use documents in their research. In 2018, Aimee's book Doing EXCELLENT social research with documents: Practical examples and guidance for qualitative researchers will be published by Routledge.
George is passionate about qualitative research, and is particularly interested in how using documents as data can enrich multimodal studies. He has undertaken research using online and translated documents as part of his investigations into martial arts cultures and pedagogies.
Maria is very interested in the use of documents as data in criminological research. The spine of her PhD is a qualitative analysis of organisational documents and newspaper articles. She is passionate about promoting training and building an interdisciplinary network of researchers who share an interest in textual data.
