This page lists a small sample of some the papers that I have been reading and referencing so far for the project. These have informed my methodology since beginning the project and also provide context to the study. I plan to add to this as the project progresses but I welcome any recommendations or additions.

The references listed here include methodological refelctions on re-using qualitative data and some examples where this has been put into practice. Early debates about QSA were fairly polarised but now reflect much greater nuance.
