Connecting with global research participants requires more than just pure language knowledge. How do we ask questions in a way that reflects an understanding of their culture? In ways that resonate with them? How do well-intentioned researchers address issues of gender neutrality and inclusiveness, hear participants’ authentic voices, and understand their stories?
Join Jill Bishop, linguistic anthropologist and CEO of Multilingual Connections, to learn about best practices around language in global research, focusing in particular on strategizing for translation of interview guides, surveys, transcripts, and other research tools and outputs.
