Identifying City Problems: Toronto City
Step 1: Analyzing your Interview: Now that you have conducted a qualitative interview with a research participant, the next step is to analyze your data. This means carefully reading over your interview notes or listening to the recording several times. Your goal is to become deeply familiar with the conversation and identify key moments that strike you as rich, insightful, puzzling, or intriguing. You will want to take notes on the interview or write a short reflection on what you learned through the conversation. You should aim to identify two or three main themes or ideas that came up during the interview. These will provide the basis for your paper. A good way to generate insights is to talk about your interview with another person, especially a peer from CITB04. You should protect the identity of your participant, but you can speak about the content of the interview. Explain to your peer what you found interesting or unexpected from the interview. Allow them to ask you questions and respond to their suggestions and inquiries. Our ideas often become much stronger after we have had a chance to see if they resonate with and make sense to others.
