Biography

Johnny Saldaña is Professor Emeritus from Arizona State University’s School of Film, Dance, and Theatre in the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts. Saldaña's works have been cited and referenced in over 7,000 research studies conducted in over 130 countries in disciplines such as K-12 and higher education, medicine and health care, technology and social media, business and economics, government and social services, the fine arts, the social sciences, human development, and communication.

It is an unusual author who can write a basic textbook on coding data and a gripping theatrical script with equal skill. Whether pedagogy for undergraduates, reflexive autoethnography, found poetry, or reader’s theatre, Johnny Saldaña has mastered it in his voluminous writings on qualitative research. Sit down for a while with this scholarly all-star and listen to him explain his writing strategies and secrets, with examples drawn from the best of forty years of his writings in qualitative research, education, and theatre.

Renowned scholar Johnny Saldaña is simply one of the best writers in the field of qualitative research. I love his work. Saldaña writes the way students want to read and the way professors want to teach-- with clarity, humor, and robust examples. Saldaña’s unique skills from his background in theatre arts are on full display in this comprehensive, engaging, and well-written book. Writing Qualitatively is a terrific contribution to the literature and a must-have for researchers and students alike.
