Findings & Analysis (~3-5pgs)
This is the heart of your paper! In this section, you lay out what you have discovered. You might have 1 or 2 findings. You must:
Name & explain your pattern(s):
Describe what theme(s) or pattern(s) you found in your data and give your pattern a name and a subjecting heading in your paper.
What did you find? Did you uncover a comparison in the data? Organizing your data is an act of analysis! Will you argue that one variable is more salient than another for explaining your categories? For example, Solari (2006) argues that her interviewees can be placed in two categories: professionals and saints. Then she argues that gender seemed to shape men and women’s access to the “saint” discourses but was not salient in the case of “professionals.” It might make sense to cite relevant literature here if others have found something similar or different than you have.
Use quotations from your data to support your analysis:
You must cite evidence from your data set to convince the reader that the theme/pattern you say is present in your data, is really there! I would rather you discuss one finding in-depth than have lots of findings/themes that you do not support with evidence from your data set.

If you did interviews, for example, you will use quotations from your interview transcripts. If you have a database of newspaper articles or social media posts, you will quote from these data sources. All the work you have done “coding” and writing analytical memos to yourself pays off here!
Apply theory to data or explain why you found what you did:
After you describe a finding, you must explain that finding. Why do you think you found what you did? This is your analysis where you apply a concept or social theory to explain your data.
