Odum Institute: Lesser-Known, but Incredibly Useful Research Methods
Hidden Gems: Lesser-Known, but Incredibly Useful Research Methods
This workshop introduces researchers to a wide range of lesser-known data collection and analysis methods – both qualitative and quantitative. Techniques explored include a set of projective techniques designed to dig deeper and elicit individuals’ beliefs, values and emotions. Moving beyond the individual, participants will next learn about unique methods developed to describe and understand social/cultural processes, and the interaction between individual beliefs/behaviors and the physical, social, and temporal contexts in which they are developed and expressed. Workshop participants will learn how to design and execute more than a dozen of these engaging methods, in both supplemental and stand-alone contexts. Workshop includes interactive components and hands on practice of concepts presented.
