Analysing creative multi-modal data for a scientific audience

This chapter will discuss analysis of multi-modal creative and qualitative research that has been undertaken by the International Women in Supramolecular Chemistry Network (WISC, 2020). WISC’s overarching aim is to create a community to support the retention and progression of women and other marginalised genders within the field. WISC use an ethos that ‘calls in’ the community and embeds Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) expertise (Caltagirone, Draper, Hardie, et al., 2021; Caltagirone, Draper, Haynes, et al., 2021). We intentionally use reflective methods as part of an Embodied Inquiry (Leigh and Brown, 2021) to capture and share their “invisible, embodied, emotional experiences” (Leigh et al., 2023, p. 1) as a way to raise awareness and effect change (Leigh, Hiscock, et al., 2022)
