There are numerous ethical and procedural challenges when conducting cross-language research, and there is a need to discuss the role of multilingual researchers, as much of the existing literature focuses on working with third-party interpreters or translators. In this article, we expand the recommendations for cross-language research for multilingual researchers and health studies, through an examination of literature and processes from a Community-Engaged Qualitative Photovoice project. We present adapted cross-language research methods for future cross-language research studies. These adapted methods include seven considerations: (i) What and why? Considerations for Study Design, (ii) When do we translate, and how many times? Question development, pilot testing, transcription, and translation, (iii) Who? The role of the translator/interpreter during the research process, (iv) Who again? Translator/interpreter credentials, (v) What are you really saying? Dynamic equivalence, (vi) Do your ears deceive you? Reflexive reflective reflexivity, and (vii) Triality, not just Duality, of the role of the Researcher.

Currently, limited guidance is offered to qualitative researchers regarding ways to undertake data analysis that focus on the complex transactions of person and place. We propose that honouring mutuality of person and place requires analysis textured as ‘custodianship’ of the diverse expression of values in research data that constitutes an ‘ecology’. The process of analysis as custodians is the enacted responsibility to learn with data: digging deep within the ecology to reveal flows of diverse values motivating human behaviour. In this article, this inherently more relational approach to data analysis is theorised as an eco-behavioural stance, inspired by the social-ecological model and ecological psychology. Directing increasing sensitivity to the role of the qualitative researcher that considers the multiple emergent processes operating simultaneously across various levels of analysis, we contend, will bring a resultantly richer feast of findings.

This article discusses using concepts from various fields across general semiotics, to centralise children's abstract images in research. The aim is to move towards a natural semiotics – which accommodates the primordial, natural and universal dimensions of experience – that children connote through their ‘out of this world’ images. Natural semiotics is a term used to interrogate typical socio-cultural orientations towards meanings generated through signs. It is an approach to the co-interpretation of children's abstract images that appeals to emerging fields in semiotics and philosophical models which suggest the natural world as carrying intrinsic semantic value. Moving towards a natural semiotics carries potentials for co-interpreting children's ‘out of this world’ signs, in relation to situated and universal systems of meaning. When children cannot narrativise their experiences, symbols and other abstract imagery naturally emerge. A natural semiotics approach can be valuable for trying to figure out meanings behind children's creative, and at times, unknowable-yet-known data.

Advance care planning is built upon starting conversations about ageing, illness and the end of life. So too is research in this field. In an Australian study about Vietnamese migrants’ responses to planning ahead for aged and end-of-life care, research participants called into question this direct approach to communication. Attempting to destabilise the dominance of Anglophone approaches to advance care planning and, moreover, to research in this area, we employ the Vietnamese linguistic device of ‘softening hedges’ both as an analytic lens and as a methodological tool to engage participants in research about a sensitive and often taboo topic. Creating distance from the individual – as decision-maker or as research participant – we worked closely with research collaborators, enabling new visual and bilingual methods to emerge.

Ethnographic research of controversies with divisive sides provides valuable insight into how controversies are enacted, their heterogeneities, and how relations between sides shape interwoven identities. However, the methodology raises specific challenges for researchers, and there is a lack of insight on how to do multi-sided ethnographies. This article considers how to undertake multi-sided ethnography by reflecting on my own research into the bovine Tuberculosis controversy in England, in which I did fieldwork with people shooting badgers and people undertaking direct action against the shooting of badgers. These reflections are framed around the challenges of negotiating uneven terms of access with and between oppositional groups, negotiating a researcher's role as a knowledge resource between groups, and negotiating a researcher's own emotions and safety in highly charged contexts. I propose that it is key for researchers to hold non-aligned positions in the controversies being studied and to navigate critical distance with participants to manage these challenges. Researchers need to be both an ‘insider’ and ‘outsider’ with all participant groups to maintain a degree of access across multiple sides of a controversy. Finally, I provide practical recommendations for how to undertake multi-sided ethnographies of controversies.

The use of interviews and focus groups is well-established in the social science methods literature. However, discussion on how research can combine these two methods in creative ways is less common. While researchers are generally aware of the potential of focus groups for further probing issues that emerge in one-on-one interviews, few studies detail how this might be achieved in practice. In this article, we describe and reflect on a focus group elicitation strategy that uses individual interview excerpts to facilitate discussion in group settings. In our reflection, we draw on a study that investigated the sharing of embryo images in fertility treatment. The article contributes to the methods literature firstly, by reflecting on the novel use of individual interview material in focus groups and secondly, by discussing the re-enactment of interview excerpts as an effective audio elicitation tool to be used in the later stages of research.

Social media is of growing interest as a platform for post-COVID research, providing ungated platforms for minority groups and activists that may struggle to have their messages and voices heard in other media. In First Nations communities around Australia there is a higher-than-average uptake of social media platforms, particularly Facebook. Based on a qualitative research project with a First Nations group in Southeast Queensland targeting knowledges, experiences and perspectives to decolonise disability and caring knowledges this case study explores the use of social media, specifically Facebook, as a platform for virtual yarning focusing on the experiences of First Nations peoples with disability. The study acknowledges the limitations and challenges associated with social media platforms, such as the potential for over-sharing, privacy concerns and the risk of bullying. It emphasises the need for researchers, especially those considered outsiders, to carefully consider the ethical implications and potential exposure to lateral violence. The research highlights the advantages of virtual yarning on Facebook, including increased access to culture and belonging, reduced participant burden and cost-effectiveness. It recognises the value of multimedia platforms in promoting culturally appropriate and accessible communication, particularly for communities with diverse literacy levels. However, the study acknowledges the trade-off between breadth and depth of data quality inherent in social media research and recommends virtual yarning as a supplementary method alongside focus groups and yarning interviews or as a platform to recruit participants for research. Ethical considerations are crucial in this context, particularly regarding privacy, data sovereignty and intellectual property.

Advances in online data collection spurred on by a pandemic springboard have been well recognised, but less attention has been given to corresponding approaches in recruitment. This article addresses this gap by examining whether recruitment challenges can be overcome by utilising personalised recordings to recruit interviewees. Developed to engage elite interviewees in challenging circumstances, this innovation opens up methodological considerations of recruitment. Drawing on researchers’ and participants’ reflexive accounts, the advantages and limitations are considered of employing online recruitment videos which centre on the researcher to initiate connection. The contribution of this analysis is to foreground multiple goals of recruitment and expose the complexity of establishing recruitment efficacy. Moreover, it identifies three challenges of recruitment methods concerned with alienation, exclusion, and researcher well-being. Notwithstanding such shortcomings, this article argues videos offer an alternative recruitment method appropriate for the digital age that could be utilised for both online and in-person interviews.

This paper presents a new methodological model that was developed whilst carrying out an Institutional Ethnography to explore school food working practices. The model brings together two complementary approaches; Institutional Ethnography and Systems Thinking, to offer a novel approach to the analysis and visualisation of ethnographic data as systems maps that show how power shapes practices. This novel contribution allows for the mapping of complex working practices to show interdependencies and flows, and addresses limitations in the applicability of Institutional Ethnography to policy research. This approach will be useful for researchers and practitioners who want to utilise findings from Institutional Ethnography to design effective interventions, change outcomes of working practices, or tackle policy problems.

The use of digital technologies in qualitative research has been found to increase access and participation by minimizing geographical, scheduling, and financial barriers. However, discussions among the qualitative research community about the challenges of conducting research online and, specifically, what steps can be taken to mitigate “imposter participants” remain limited. Anchored in a critical disability studies perspective, in this field note paper, we discuss lessons learned in conducting online qualitative research and preserving data trustworthiness.
