Letro Courtroom, 1st Floor, O'Brian Hall, University at Buffalo Law School

This workshop will address qualitative methods, discuss new technologies for gathering data, and explore different approaches to collecting, managing and analyzing the data. The first day of the workshop should be of interest to a broad audience of qualitative researchers, especially those dealing with interpersonal violence and institutional responses. The morning of the second day will feature a presentation of several manuscripts in progress, followed by discussion.

It has become clear in the recent past that federal grant agencies are seeking mixed methods approaches to research. It is not enough to simply state "we will interview subjects." The competitive grant application process is now requiring that primary investigators understand qualitative methods and make appropriate use of technology and statistical methods. This two-day workshop provides an opportunity to hear from experienced researchers who employ a variety of qualitative methodologies. Faculty and graduate students are welcome.
