Trainerdetails

As an expert for qualitative data analysis, data analysis software and methods pedagogy, I have over ten years experience in supporting and guiding researchers, evaluators, project teams and Higher Education institutions. At the Division of Extension (University of Wisconsin - Madison), I lead the development of the Data Jam Initiative, an Evaluation Capacity Building framework that fosters distributed, consensus-focused analyses of large qualitative datasets.

My research focuses on formal and informal methods education, especially when it comes to learning concrete analytic strategies and the adaptation and use of technology (such as qualitative data analysis software). Through my research and consulting, I aim to support Higher Education institutions in providing  equitable access to resources, mentorship and communities of practice  that qualitative analysts require to succeed.  My past research interests revolve around metaphor theory & analysis; on cross-language communication & analysis in qualitative research, and on communication in video games.
