Qualitative sociology is undergoing significant changes and seizing new opportunities due to technological advancements such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and natural language processing. These technologies are revolutionizing qualitative data analysis and offering new research and methodological perspectives. Artificial intelligence and machine learning automate data analysis, manage large datasets efficiently, and lead to more precise and rigorous conclusions while preserving the depth of qualitative research. Integrating the methods of digital humanities with qualitative sociology holds great promise for gaining better insights into complex social phenomena and processes. This “Qualitative Sociology Review” special issue highlights how the methods from within digital humanities can be effectively utilized in qualitative research and data analysis, providing theoretical and practical guidance for researchers. The articles in this issue offer analytical expertise, inspiring researchers to further explore and implement innovative methods of digital humanities and technologies in qualitative sociology.
