Conducting document analysis in interpretive policy research: An experiential account of a PhD student

Research output: Contribution to conferenceAbstract

Abstract

Fieldwork or empirical investigation is a crucial stage through which interpretive researchers delve into the realm of inquiry to uncover a multitude of interpretations and diverse meanings, which are essential for constructing a comprehensive, improved, or alternative understanding of the subject under study. In this paper, I recount my personal experiences conducting document analysis for my PhD research to access and explore various meanings and interpretations of Indonesia's higher education reform as implanted in authoritative and official documents.
