Faculty Research Panel: GROWING Our Understanding and Valuing of Qualitative Research
Host: Donald Isaak
Moderator: Tabatha L. Jones Jolivet
Panelists: Pamela Cone, Stacy Kula, Katharine Putman
Description: Qualitative research is a powerful voice for understanding persons and societies and affecting change. Qualitative studies, however, are often misunderstood by scholars who use other methods, and by qualitative researchers themselves. Indeed, depending on one’s discipline, methodology, philosophical assumptions, and goals, there can be wide differences on what ‘good’ qualitative research is and what is learned. This presentation features a panel of individuals from diverse disciplines discussing nuances of qualitative studies. Whether participants use qualitative methods, all should GROW in understanding the value of qualitative studies from attending this session.
