Join us at the Qualitative Research Methods Workshop to sharpen your skills in applying qualitative methods and analyzing qualitative data. Learn from your fellow tourism researchers during the research roundtables where presenters will share their qualitative methods and findings. These roundtables are designed to provide opportunities for attendees to learn from each other through discussion and engagement with a small audience. In addition to the research roundtables, this workshop features a conversation with experts Dr. Christine Buzinde (Arizona State University), Courtney Hotchkiss (North Carolina State University), and Dr. Ginger Deason (Inter-American Foundation) on the use of qualitative research methods within indigenous communities.
