Let's Talk Interviews and Focus Groups
2022-09-12 10:30 - 12:00 (America/Detroit) | Virtual, MI
Planning and conducting qualitative research can be intimidating. The interviewer has to meet real people face-to-face and figure out how to elicit answers of interest. We have to do so without being heavy-handed and without signaling disinterest in the whole person or their whole story. We will discuss how to adopt a genuinely empathetic posture and how to signal interest while keeping the conversation on track. We will offer a hands-on demonstration experience and showcase some ways to bridge qualitative and quantitative work through structured data tables in simple tools like Excel or Google Sheets.
