What is (Your) Methodology?: Exploring Methodological Multiplicity via Metaphor
Speaker: Dr. Carlson H. Coogler, Assistant Professor of Qualitative Research, Baylor University
What qualitative methodology is can take many forms—often described through metaphor: a blueprint, bridge, or map. Drawing from her research with graduate students, Dr. Coogler examines how metaphors shape our understanding of methodological practice and invites us to co-create new ones through reflection and dialogue.
