8/ Continuing the body hair theme - a paper by @GarethRTerry & @ginnybraun on male body hair removal discourse - a great eg of how qual survey data can be used to go beyond the experiential & interrogate discourse: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1740144516300250?via%3Dihub
9/ A final body hair one - this is the survey eg we use in our qual textbook - on pubic hair (Phew! Spotted the autocorrect to public) - includes a drawing task: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0361684313492950
10/ Staying with appearance but shifting to health/medical research - @lgoatley @UWEHealthPsy & my paper on the lived experience of alopecia - includes the survey substantive questions in full: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/bjd.17463
11/ Another health eg from @DrAdamJowett & Elizabeth Peel who explore LGB people's experiences of chronic illness: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0959353509342770
12/ When students objected to a gay pride t-shirt I wore in a lecture I was fascinated by their reaction & wanted to find out more - a qually survey enabled quick & anonymous data collection. The survey responses were amazing. Here's the first of 2 papers: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0959353515613812
13/ The first paper - above - responded to discussions around coming out in the classroom, the second to notions of modern heterosexism: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00918369.2017.1423217?journalCode=wjhm20
14/ I've written a couple of papers with UG students based on their final year projects exploring LGB appearance practices & identity work - first, Megan Smith's project on gay & bisexual men: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00918369.2014.957119

17/ Hannah Frith & Kate Gleeson have published 2 fab papers based on data collected with students as part of a research methods lab on qually methods - this paper is on women's clothing practices: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14780880701752950
18/ Frith & Gleeson's qually survey paper on men's clothing practices: https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2004-10104-005
19/ Researchers have sometimes used qually surveys to extend the reach of interviews/give participants options for how they participate - here's an eg of this - a study of how adults with LGT parents make sense of having a queer/trans parent: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/19419899.2015.1110195
