Defining 'Thematic Analysis'

Welcome to our December Dictionary Series! We recognise that we reference a whole bunch of terms and theories on this podcast and felt it was time to have a handy series of definitions that you can keep coming back to. This is a series of 24 x 5 minute episodes covering some key terms that we use a lot in our work at the centre. Episodes will be released daily and definitions have been co-created with or provided by various members of the Centre for Appearance Research team. In this episode of the series, we define THEMATIC ANALYSIS. Thank you to Dr Victoria Clarke for providing support in developing this definition.
