2022 Research Methods Workshops
Sponsored by 
The ASHE Research Methods Workshops are intended as a space for ASHE members to engage with and explore cutting-edge quantitative and qualitative research methodologies in ways that center critical methods and inquiry in research. Each workshop will be led by leading scholars in the field and will challenge participants to expand their methodological imagination.
Who should attend:
While the workshops are open to anyone who is interested, the following groups may benefit the most from the content:
- Graduate students currently preparing for the dissertation (e.g., dissertation proposal stage) or who do not have access to such methodological opportunities at their home campuses
- Adjunct, clinical, and post-doctoral scholars
Workshop Series Chairs
- Tenisha Tevis, Oregon State University
- Zak Foste, University of Kansas
Registration
- Registration fees are:
- $25 per workshop for Graduate Student Members
- $35 per workshop for all other current ASHE Member
- $50 per workshop for Non-Members
- Registration Close and Payment Deadline: One week prior to each event
- We especially encourage graduate students to contact their program faculty to seek institutional support to attend these workshops. We strongly encourage programs to cover the registration fee for these events, as possible. If additional documentation is needed, please contact ASHE Executive Director Jason Guilbeau at jason@ashe.ws.
- All ASHE Professional Development events encourage participants to engage throughout the event in various ways. To provide an environment that is conducive to learning and engagement and to provide a safe space (to the extent possible), Professional Development events are not recorded.
Humanizing Participants and Communities throughout the Higher Education Research Process
Thursday, November 17 | 1:00pm-4:00pm Pacific Standard/Las Vegas Time
In-Person during the ASHE General Conference
Reciprocity in research is an important component of equity-based inquiry, and one that requires deep attention and care from scholars. Traditional concepts of reciprocity often obscure the ways that whiteness, colonization, and coloniality influence research, dehumanizing communities and research participants. Drawing from Indigenous, critical race nepantlera, and anti-colonial knowledges and methods, this session will enable participants to expand their knowledge of expansive philosophies of what constitutes reciprocity, learn specific practices and approaches that advance it, and be better prepared to apply these approaches to humanize and consider potential benefits alongside the communities and individuals whose insights shape our thinking and practice.

Wrestling with and Establishing Congruence in Critical Qualitative Research
Friday, November 18 | 1:00pm-04:00pm Pacific Standard/Las Vegas Time
In-Person during the ASHE General Conference
In this workshop, the presenters will discuss the importance of establishing study congruence in the context of engaging critical frameworks in qualitative research. In particular, presenters will offer examples from their scholarship on how they have leaned into the messiness of employing critical frameworks at different stages of one’s study
