In many research projects, analysis is described as something that happens after data have been collected: researchers gather information, analyse it and then identify findings.

​

Project Becomings worked differently. Knowing and analysis developed throughout the research process, through conversations, creative practices, materials, digital reflections, researcher reflexivity and encounters between co-researchers.

​

Different forms of knowledge were not treated as though they could always be translated into the same kind of evidence. Words mattered, but so did images, creative works, bodies, materials, sensations, relationships, silences and moments where something could not yet be easily explained.

​

Analysis therefore involved more than asking “What does this data mean?” It also involved attending to what was happening through the research encounters, what different ways of knowing made visible, and how understandings of recovery changed as ideas were revisited and brought into relation.

​

This approach reflected the participatory and post-qualitative foundations of Project Becomings, where knowledge was understood as something produced with and through the research, rather than simply discovered within information waiting to be analysed.
