Glessmer, M. S., & Forsyth, R. (2025). Superficially plausible outputs from a black box: Problematising genAI tools for analysing qualitative SoTL aata. Teaching and Learning Inquiry, 13, 1–9. https://doi.org/10.20343/teachlearninqu.13.4 [SoTL = Scholarhip of Teaching & Learning] Spoiler alert: the authors indeed discovered some problems! Open access - as are the following two articles.

Qualitative Research, 25(1), 243-262. https://doi.org/10.1177/14687941241245961. " In this article we discuss participant-led explorations of a digital story-mapping platform as an elicitation technique in qualitative interviews. This platform is Queering the Map, a community-generated counter-mapping project that digitally archives queer moments in place." Engaging insights, for example in the emergence of "generative silence" in the sessions.
