Qualitative research is a process of data generation through innovate methods and
combinations such as interviews, ethnography, focus groups, participatory action research
and, photovoice. More recently, unobtrusive data gathered through the Internet as
well as social media is being used by social researchers to explore innovative research
questions, problems and solutions. Also, the subject examines how data is organised
and coded, sometimes through computer software programs, and disseminated through
the traditional written word, and, how social researchers are now combining indigenous
and digital forms of storytelling to give voice to marginalised and dispossessed groups.
Qualitative research also considers how decolonizing methods can also play a central
part in understanding how social groups engage with, reject, and modify imposed representations
by dominant cultures.
