The British Association for International and Comparative Education (BAICE) welcomes paper proposals from doctoral researchers and early-career researchers dealing with the messiness of data analysis.

Analysing data – both quantitative and qualitative data – collected in cross-cultural settings involves a wide range of theoretical, practical and ethical challenges. This year’s conference offers an opportunity for PhD students and early-career researchers at various research stages to discuss the messiness of data analysis in comparative and international educational research, including but not limited to:

• considering data analysis when selecting data collection tools;
• messiness of data analysis deriving from fieldwork and data collection;
• integrating different data sources;
• practicing reflexivity during data analysis; and
• ethical issues arising from data analysis.

Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words to students@baice.ac.ukl.
