- Duration:
- 1 Hour
- Short Description:
- Determining the questions to ask during a research interview can be one of the most important skills in pursuit of qual mastery. There are many techniques in a researcher’s toolbox, and laddering is one. Interviewing a respondent using laddering can be tricky, especially if it is not used often or with a respondent who is not comfortable with self-reflection. In this session, we’ll explore the basics of laddering, and how some additional perspective using scaffolding can create more opportunity for success with this technique. This will be useful both for professionals early in their career as well as experienced researchers who wish to refresh their perspective and bring new insight into their next interview.

- Data is everywhere, but without data literacy, misinformation, misinterpretation, and poor decision-making result. Researchers play a critical role in bridging the gap between data and meaningful understanding.

Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to advocate for data literacy, empower stakeholders, and drive better, more informed decision-making.

- Duration:
- 1 Hour
- Short Description:
- Moderator Neutrality: Avoiding Trigger Points When the Moderator is Emotionally Attached to the Topic. We've all heard the phrase that moderators should be neutral in their approach to the topic and refrain from letting our emotional baggage interfere with obtaining the data. But what does neutral mean? How do we maneuver around our very human traits of having a point of view about the findings or what we wish the outcome would be on behalf of our clients? What do we do when we have opinions on topics or when it is emotionally triggering? This webinar will answer those questions.
