ASC Workshop: Running the Gauntlet: Succeeding as a Qualitative Scholar In a Field Built upon Quantitative Standards

Session Submission Type: Workshop

Abstract/Description

This workshop is targeted primarily for early career scholars and will contain practical/ strategic and methodological strategies for navigating a quant-dominated field. Subtopics might include: how to respond to (or write to prevent) common reviewer critiques, how to build a research and funding pipeline that includes qualitative research, and how to be an advocate for your research in a field that often devalues qualitative work. More senior scholars are also encouraged to attend and share your own strategies for succeeding while using qualitative methods and to strategize for advocacy efforts that may help bridge the quant-qual divide in our field.
