The College of Education and Human Ecology (EHE) and the EHE Office of Research, Innovation, Collaboration (ORIC), The Ohio State University are sponsoring a virtual, 3-day advanced methods institute entitled, Advancing Culturally Responsive Research and Researchers. The virtual event will be held starting at noon on Wednesday, June 2, 2021 and ending after lunch on Friday, June 4, 2021.
The goal of this event is to provide an opportunity for an open and challenging discussion of the ways in which research methods impact the cultural relevance and sustainability of scholarly research in the social-behavioral sciences. The institute will be comprised of a series of workshops, with each workshop focusing on a methodological issue (e.g., sampling, design, measurement and data collection, data analysis) that has key implications for the protection of cultural identities, traditions and ways of life. Workshops will build attendees’ skills, highlight issues relevant to research among diverse populations, and employ examples from data sets which address issues which are culturally relevant.
