Psychology. The paper sought to provide guidance, for psychology colleagues and students, on the conceptualisation, considerations and practice of thematic analysis (TA). Their paper proved unexpectedly popular, both within their discipline, and beyond. In the subsequent years they have written an award winning and best-selling qualitative research textbook Successful Qualitative Research (Braun and Clarke 2013), numerous chapters (eg Braun and Clarke 2012; Braun, Clarke, and Rance, 2014; Braun, Clarke, and Terry 2014; Braun, Clarke, and Weate, 2016; Clarke and Braun 2016), encyclopaedia entries (Clarke and Braun 2014a, 2014b), commentaries (Braun and Clarke 2016, 2019; Clarke and Braun 2018) and editorials (Braun and Clarke 2014; Clarke and Braun 2017), and created a website (https://www. psych. auck land. ac. nz/en/about/our-research/research-groups/thematic-analysis. html), about TA, as well as written chapters and papers (eg Braun, Clarke, and Gray 2017b; Clarke and Braun 2019), and co-edited a book and a special issue related to other aspects of qualitative research (Braun et al. 2019a; Braun, Clarke, and Gray 2017a). Over this time, their thinking around TA has evolved and they have encountered, and been frustrated by, many misuses and misrepresentations of their original paper. Early in 2019, Nikki Hayfield–who also writes and teaches around TA and has co-authored several chapters with them (Braun et al. 2019b; Clarke, Braun, and Hayfield 2015; Terry et al. 2017)–interviewed Ginny and Victoria, asking them to reflect on these topics, and on their process, practice and thinking as TA proponents. The following edited transcript of their conversation highlights the context for writing their 2006 paper, some of the assumptions about qualitative research they made in writing that paper, their responses to misrepresentations and
