- 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. This session explores why data literacy is essential today, how we can collectively foster a more data-literate society, and the role organizations like QRCA can play in educating the broader public. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to advocate for data literacy, empower stakeholders, and drive better, more informed decision-making.

- **Read Rick Weitzer’s interview with Rich Thau in the Winter 2024 issue of QRCA VIEWS magazine.** As the 2024 election approaches, qualitative research has taken on a larger role in how the media understands and reports on the presidential race. Qualitative has become the go-to methodology for understanding voter behavior of a small sliver of undecided voters living in the seven ‘swing’ states. Our next QRCA Qcast will be held on October 18 at noon ET, when we will hear from two panelists who are deeply involved in the psychology of voters: • Rich Thau, president of Engagious and moderator of the Swing Voter Project, who conducts monthly focus groups with undecided voters. • Susan Davis, Washington correspondent for NPR, the media partner who sponsors – and reports on – some of these focus groups. This month’s Qcast will be a debrief of two focus groups which Rich moderated just three days earlier. He will show various video clips from his groups will give our attendees an inside l

- The recent initial surge in popularity of Open AI's ChatGPT and consequential growth of Large Language Models (LLMs) and the recently released multi-modal GPT-4o has brought the concept of prompt engineering into the spotlight, raising important questions about its potential to augment many different parts of our jobs, including some of the common applications in user research such as summarization and synthesis. In this QCast, we will delve into the world of conversational AI assistants and explore the potential biases, limitations, and characteristics of typical AI tools available in the mainstream today to offer some insights for qualitative researchers seeking to improve their interactions with these tools, and discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by these AI assistants. In this session, we’ll learn how to navigate potential pitfalls, enhance our prompt engineering skills, and discover creative ways to adapt digital assistants to existing processes. Attendees w

- A human-first approach should be at the core of everything we do. Yet, our relationship with research participants is often transactional, ending after they receive the honorarium. In this session, we’ll discuss how this one-sided interaction contradicts human-centered design and blurs the lines of ethical research. Our speakers will draw from knowledge gained through their combined 15+ years of conducting qualitative research studies for Fortune 500 companies to illustrate the necessity of building an ethical, trauma-informed two-way bridge between researchers and participants.
