  1. Methodological Innovations in Qualitative Longitudinal Research Liam Berriman, Claude Jousselin, Ester McGeeney, Rachel Thomson, Susie Weller.

  2. Session overview • New frontiers in QLR: Cultivating a QLR sensibility 2) Face 2 face: tracing the real and mediated in children's cultural worlds 3) The potential of video telephony in qualitative longitudinal research:a participatory and interactionist approach to assessing remoteness and rapport

  3. New Frontiers in Qualitative Longitudinal Research: cultivating a QLR sensibility Rachel Thomson, Ester McGeeney, Claude Jousselin University of Sussex and Goldsmith College, University of London

  4. QLR 2000 – 2015: Ageneration of methodological development • 2000 - emergence of a new methodological paradigm bringing together distinct disciplinary traditions • A new turn to time? Renewed interest in theory and methods of processes, intergenerationality, change and continuity. • QLR as focus for interdisciplinary collaborations: Timescapes;Real Times; Step Change; Young Lives; Social Life of Methods; Oliver Schreiner; Temporal Belonging • QLR as barometer of the new: digital time; the value of data; co-production; anonymity; ownership; performativity of methods ‘impact’ and ‘practice’. • 2015 - New Frontiers in QLR

  5. The NewFrontiers in QLR seminar series Event 1: Interdisciplinary perspectives on continuity and change: what counts as QLR? Event 2: Research relationships in time Event 3: (Re)conceptualising the object of QLR: duration and seriality Event 4: QLR and practice traditions Event 5: The child in time: animating ideas of development and transition www.sussex.ac.uk/esw/circy/research/completedresearch/newfrontiers

  6. Future directions: • Big data/ deep data • The particular and the general • Beyond annonymity • Privileging here and now • A QLR sensibility

  7. Cultivating a QLR sensibility ‘[We came to understand QLR] as a sensibility, a mindset, an orientation, a foregrounding of temporality, an inspiration to remain alert to time and temporality in our research.’ (Walker 2013).

  8. A QLR detour during fieldwork • PhD research aimed at following the diagnostic process of adult ADHD in the UK • 12 months fieldwork • Specialist clinic • 4 support groups in 4 cities • Temporality and ADHD • Retrospective diagnosis • Lived experience of time • New Frontiers in QLR • Time as dynamic and process of change

  9. QLR detour • Seminar inspirations • Unit of analysis: from individual to group • Extend data: broadening temporal scope • New questions • How do participants’ concerns change over time? • When did change occur? Are there any turning points? • What would the concept of duration highlight in the social life of support group? • How different have the support groups become in this last five years, and what would that say about the place of ADHD in the UK?

  10. QLR detour • Unexpected outcome • Report for patient organisationhttp://aadduk.org/library/articles/ • QLR in the PhD research context • Adaptability • Temporal Orientation

  11. Cultivating a QLR sensibility How do the following three concepts relate to your current (or most recent) research project? • Research time • Analytic time • Biographical time
