About this episode
Helen Dickinson discusses the subjectivity in qualitative research and its implications for inclusive research.
"one of the other things that sometimes gets said is that qualitative research is subjective because it's based on people's thoughts and perceptions And to that I guess I'd say well, you know to a degree is but I don't think there's any approach at all in research that doesn't involve subjectivity"
