Professor Virginia Braun
Talk Title: TBC
Bio: Virginia Braun (Ginny; she/her they/them) Professor in the School of Psychology at Waipapa Taumata Rau/The University of Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand, and an Ahurei/Fellow of Te Apārangi The Royal Society of New Zealand. A feminist and critical health psychologist, Ginny teaches around gender, sex and sexuality, and critical health psychology topics, and researches a wide range of gender, sexuality and health topics.
Ginny is most widely known as a qualitative methodological scholar, not least for the development of an approach to thematic analysis with Victoria Clarke – now known as reflexive thematic analysis. Award winning books with Victoria Clarke are Successful Qualitative Research: A Practical Guide for Beginners (Sage, 2013) – translated into Hindi and Marathi – and Thematic Analysis: A Practical Guide (Sage, 2022) – being
translated in Polish, Japanese and Farsi. They also edited (with Debra Gray) Collecting Qualitative Data: A Practical Guide to Textual, Media and Virtual Techniques (Cambridge, 2017) – translated into (Brazilian) Portuguese. Other qualitative methodologies they have explored (with others) include story completion and qualitative surveys, and currently (with Victoria) they are orienting to matters of quality in qualitative research. They have developed websites for both thematic analysis (www.thematicanalysis.net) and qualitative story completion (www.storycompletion.net).
