Braun and Clarke | Writing up Reflexive Thematic Analysis - made simple!
Let's simplify writing up Braun and Clarke's Reflexive Thematic Analysis - because this is where a lot of people go wrong and don't make the most of their wonderful data! You've done the coding, developed your themes... and now it's time to pull it all together into a clear, compelling writeup that does your hard work justice. In this video, I’ll walk you through exactly how to write up your reflexive thematic analysis, step-by-step – no jargon, no confusion, just a straightforward guide you can actually follow. Hi, I’m Dr. Elizabeth Yardley – I’ve spent the last 20 years supporting social sciences graduate students, and trust me, I know how tricky this stage can feel. So let's break it down together: from introducing your themes clearly (no mysterious slow reveals!) to choosing the best illustrative quotes, interpreting your findings thoughtfully, and pulling everything together into a cohesive story that connects to your research aims and theory. You'll even see practical examples you can screenshot and use as inspiration for your own thesis. If you're deep in the trenches with your reflexive thematic analysis, don't miss my complete Braun and Clarke Guide – packed with worksheets, examples, and sentence starters to make this whole process easier.
