Some folks assume that #qualitative research is always inductive & grounded—that magically, after repeated readings, the “themes emerge.”
As such, they drag their feet in reviewing literature & wait until the end before wading into focused analysis. The result?

My last contribution on how to (so-called) decolonize IR (in @millennjournal)! The first baby step is to decenter the Western gaze in our syllabi:
-> 54% mention the Cold War, 8% de/colonization
-> 92% realism, 14% race studies
-> 32 U.S. leaders mentioned, 0 from Africa
