This book describes the qualitative journeys of more than a dozen neophyte researchers and their mentors. As such, the stories have embedded within them certain themes that can also be connected to reveal similar patterns. If you were going to analyze this data, ask yourself what stands out most to you across the narratives you've read. Just as the authors described the ways that they identified the most important plots (narrative analysis), codes (grounded theory), themes (phenomenology), and so forth, so too can we talk about what struck us as common threads that appear most significant.
