Sociological Inquiry @socioinquiry.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Qualitative researchers face the problem of “enoughness” when deciding whether data collection and analysis are sufficient. Carolan shows that claims of sufficiency are not singular. In fact, they can be justified through different grammars, including redundancy, interpretive, procedural, & audit.

100

Sociological Inquiry @socioinquiry.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Carolan reframes saturation as a problem of epistemic closure. The question becomes less “Have we reached saturation?” and more: How do researchers establish that further inquiry is unnecessary?

Sociological Inquiry @socioinquiry.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

You may have seen us share this article before—and there’s a reason. We think the question of when qualitative researchers have “enough” data deserves more attention. This week’s Teaching Takeaway revisits Michael Carolan’s “Saturation or Sufficiency?” 🧵
