Qualitative Data Analysis with NVivo

Jenine Beekhuyzen OAMhas more than 20 years of experience working with NVivo and its predecessors, using it for her own doctorate, and training thousands of doctoral students and others to use it for systematic literature reviews and empirical data analysis. Having created and led the NGO Tech Girls Movement Foundation for a decade, based on 20+ years of research on the lack of women in STEM, Jenine now creates community through Research Central, her online community of practice helping doctoral students fast track their research. She shares her expertise in qualitative research, having collaborated for decades with universities, governments and industry and as an active, highly published honorary academic at prestigious universities with honorary roles at the University of Queensland, the University of Technology Sydney, and Griffith University. She has more than 65 peer reviewed academic publications, and, among other accolades, was awarded an Order of Australia Medal in 2020 for her contributions to information technology, and to women. Pat Bazeley is Director of Research Support P/L and Adjunct Professor in the Translational Research and Social Innovation Centre at Western Sydney University. Since graduating in psychology, she has worked in community development, as an evaluation researcher, and in academic research development. For almost 30 years Pat has been providing research training and project consulting to academics, graduate students and practitioners representing a wide range of disciplines across Australia and internationally. Her particular expertise is in helping researchers to make sense of qualitative, survey, and mixed methods data, and to use computer programs for management and analysis of data. Pat’s research has focused on qualitative and mixed methods data analysis, the development and performance of researchers, and the wellbeing of older women. She has published books, chapters, and articles on mixed methods and qualitative data analysis. She serves on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Mixed Methods Research and was 2015–2016 President of the Mixed Methods International Research Association.
