Expanding the Edges of Method: Multimodal, Participatory, and Equity-Centered Innovations in Qualitative Research
Sat, April 11, 1:45 to 3:15pm PDT (1:45 to 3:15pm PDT), InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown, Floor: 5th Floor, Hancock Park WestSession Type: Paper Session
Abstract
This session features scholars advancing qualitative methodologies through multimodal, participatory, and equity-driven approaches. Across contexts—K–12 education, higher ed, medical training, and design studios—papers explore how tools like visual mapping, video analysis, informed photography, and arts-based methods expand what counts as data and participation. These methodologies reimagine research design as a space to center cultural context, identity development, temporality, and relational trust. Collectively, the session contributes to methodological discourse by interrogating the boundaries of qualitative inquiry and offering new tools for capturing complexity, fostering inclusion, and designing research attuned to both epistemic nuance and participant experience.
