Choosing Creative Methods: Conversation with Nicole Brown

In the first quarter of 2021 we explored design steps, starting with a January focus on research questions. We continued to learn about the design stage in February and March by focusing on Choosing Methodology and Methods, and Ethical Research. Find all these collections on our monthly focus page.

In this research conversation Dr. Nicole Brown describes how she uses creative methods, and why she has decided to use these approaches, given the population and the nature of her research.
