LISTENING BETWEEN THE LINES

INNOVATING DIGITAL METHODS FOR SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH

I specialize in qualitative research design and implementation, patient experience research, program evaluation, qualitative social media analysis, software best practices (ATLAS.ti and MAXQDA), and discourse and narrative analysis methods.

Consulting clients have included Evidera, Adelphi Values, Sandia National Lab, Discerning Leadership, and Refugee Transitions.

My research and consulting work centers on the use of digital tools and spaces in a variety of qualitative research contexts in the USA and abroad. I’ve been a tenured faculty member at the University of Tennessee, the University of Georgia, and East Tennessee State University.

International experiences have always been a priority for me, mostly recently as a Fulbright Distinguished Scholar in the Humanities and Social Sciences at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poland.

My first teaching experience was in Lesotho, Southern Africa as a Peace Corps Volunteer and over the years I’ve been a visiting scholar at the Center for Advanced Internet Studies in Germany, the University of Innsbruck, and the University of Tasmania. I have facilitated professional development events for the Indiana University satellite campus in North Macedonia (South East European University) and for University of Alabama International Programs in Quito, Ecuador.
