Visual analysis for Masters and PhD students studying modules related to International Relations broadly and Security Studies particularly

I hold a PhD. in counter-terrorism and media studies. My PhD. thesis is entitled "Acting Like A State - Visual Analysis of IS's (Staged) Performances of Modern Stateness". I used MAXQDA software for my PhD thesis in which I conducted a visual analysis on 374 official IS videos, spanning 63 hours in duration, and investigated the state-like performances projected in those videos. The use of MAXQDA for the project was a game changer and helped me acquire high-level qualitative and quantitative analysis, which helped produce excellent analysis. Currently, I am working on a book which is based on my PhD thesis and the insights gained from the use of MAXQDA software would be mentioned in the manuscript.
