Hello all Back in July we made a call for resources on the topic of doing qualitative research which addresses inequalities during Covid-19. The aim was to gather resources about doing qualitative research in socially distant times with a particular focus on resources relating to inequalities research, covering, for example, researching with marginalised, minoritised or hard-to-reach groups and communities, or facilitating qualitative research with diverse groups (including diversity in groups). We are now pleased to announce that the resources we identified have been gathered together on the Living with Data <https://livingwithdata.org/resources/doing-qualitative-research-which-addresses-inequalities-in-times-of-social-distancing/> website. The page lists resources that have been shared with us and that we have found. Many more fit into the ‘general resources’ category than the ‘resources relating to inequalities research’ category, but we hope that these general resources are nonetheless helpful to people researching inequalities. We noticed that there was limited discussion of the pros and cons of using different platforms for qualitative research, especially with regard to inequalities and inclusivity. If any of you have experiences of this, or resources to pass on, we would be very interested/grateful. We would like to thank everyone who suggested resources and welcome further recommendations, as we will be updating this resource for the remainder of 2020. Many thanks, Hannah Ditchfield, Elisa Serafinelli and Helen Kennedy (Living With Data <https://livingwithdata.org/> & Digital Society Network <https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/social-sciences/research/digital-society> @ University of Sheffield) On Thu, 9 Jul 2020 at 09:07, Helen Kennedy <h.kennedy@sheffield.ac.uk> wrote:

Hello all

Many of us are currently facing challenges as we seek to carry out qualitative research which addresses inequalities under socially distanced conditions. Lots of people are thinking creatively about how to overcome these challenges, and we’re aware of a number of events, webinars and discussions on this topic that have taken place.

We are gathering together resources on this topic (including recordings of webinars, if available), which we will share publicly on our Living With Data <https://livingwithdata.org/> project website. We will include general resources about doing qualitative research in socially distant times (such as Doing fieldwork in a pandemic <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1clGjGABB2h2qbduTgfqribHmog9B6P0NvMgVuiHZCl8/edit?ts=5e88ae0a>), but we are especially interested in resources relating to inequalities research, covering, for example, researching with marginalised, minoritised or hard-to-reach groups and communities, or facilitating qualitative research with diverse groups (including diversity in groups, eg in relation to race, class, culture, language, lived experience, politics, accessibility).

Please can you share resources with us. We will then collate and share them.

Best wishes

Elisa Serafinelli & Helen Kennedy
