Research Seminar with Nancy Lucero, University of Denver - Exploring qualitative interviewing and analysis techniques to yield deep and nuanced findings: Lessons from the Expressions of Culture in Tribal Child Welfare Work project
Dr. Nancy M. Lucero specializes in conducting qualitative research studies examining the experiences and needs of Native people residing in both urban and tribal communities. A focus of her work has been to identify and better understand how Native interviewees express cultural values and practices in their interview responses, and how traditional communication and interpersonal norms may structure Native individuals鈥� responses to qualitative interviewers. Using examples from studies she has conducted in both urban Indian and tribal settings, Nancy will share information about using relational and narrative interviewing with Native research participants, and talk about a data analysis method that allows researchers to capture the inherent depth and nuance of interviewees鈥� expressions of their lived experiences, perceptions, and behaviors. This research presentation and open discussion will provide attendees with opportunities to explore how to improve qualitative data collection and analysis in Native-focused studies to elicit deeper and more nuanced findings. During the session鈥檚 discussion time, Nancy hopes to explore ideas together with attendees about ways researchers can enhance the quality of their research efforts and create greater understanding of Native peoples and Native contexts.
