202: “We Don’t Belong Here”: An exploration of Identity through Artifact-Elicited Interviews with Black Queer Women
Date: Wednesday, August 16
Time: 11:00 p.m. – 12:15 p.m.
Presenters: Elizabeth Bartelt (Department of Community Health and Health Behavior, University at Buffalo) & Tiffany Monique Quash (Qualitative/Survey Research Methodologist, CTRL)
Session Description:
This workshop centers on Black Queer Women’s identity-related experiences, interweaving the benefits of the transformative qualitative methodology used to facilitate their narratives and the implications for addressing the impact of this emotionally heavy work on the research team. A qualitative study was conducted with 19 participants in the United States who self-identified as Black Queer Women and completed a terminal degree within the last 2 years. We will examine artifact-elicited interviews as a novel research methodology and provide approaches for decolonizing the research process. The second portion of the workshop will explore how researchers are often unprotected while doing identity- and trauma-based research and share how researchers can protect themselves from reliving trauma throughout the research process.
Learning Outcomes:
- Describe best practices for cultivating higher education environments that are more supportive and safer for Black Queer Women
- Explore the multiple methodologies of qualitative research and the ways artifact-elicited interviews may benefit their research
- Analyze the impact of trauma on participants and the research team during the research process
