Abstract
In this chapter, the editors provides the rationale and focus of this edited volume on qualitative data analysis, discussing the goals, audience for this book, and contributions that this book makes. The book’s structure is introduced, which consists of (a) a main section called “Stories,” (b) a secondary section called “Dialogues,” and (c) a Companion website that provides numerous visual representations of qualitative data analysis to support chapters from the Stories section. Background detail on the process of creating the chapters for the Dialogues section is provided. The chapter concludes with “behind-the-scenes” details about the process and working with authors. In doing so, the editors attempt to mirror the openness of the authors in sharing the complexity of weaving together a piece of scholarly work.
