Getting to Grips with Reflexive Thematic Analysis
September 30, 2025 @ 9:30 am – 4:30 pm
This one-day online course offers a comprehensive introduction to Reflexive Thematic Analysis (RTA), balancing theoretical discussion with practical exercises. The aim of this course is to open up thinking about the processes of qualitative analysis and enable participants to enact RTA in flexible, iterative and reflexive ways as appropriate to the needs of their projects. This course is interactive, combining discussion, demonstration and practical exercises.
The course covers:
• The characteristics of RTA
• The six phases of analysis
• Engaging in reflexive practice
• Understanding quality in RTA
• Tools to support the process
• Resources for further development
By the end of the course participants will:
- Understand the characteristics of Reflexive Thematic Analysis (RTA) in comparison to other approaches
- Be able to describe and enact the six phases of RTA (familiarising, coding, generating initial themes, develop and review themes, refine, define and name themes, write-up)
- Be able to engage in and document reflexive practices throughout the analysis process
- Understand the importance of quality and what it looks like in RTA practice
- Consider the appropriateness of different tools to facilitate RTA
- Know where to access further resources to develop RTA practice
