Trauma-Informed Research: Caring for You and Preventing Secondary Trauma
with Carol Scott and Melissa Eggleston
8 hours over 2 segments: March 17 & 19, 2025
In this workshop, learn about secondary trauma and how you can protect yourself and your team.

Quantitative Methods for Qualitative UX Researchers: Triangulate Your Way to Holistic Insights and Stronger Storytellingwith Subhasree Chatterjee and Archana Shah
8 hours over 2 segments: March 18-19, 2025
Many UX researchers often rely on familiar qualitative methods such as interviews and usability testing, overlooking the potential benefits of combining these with quantitative methods through triangulation. Depending solely on one set of tools can result in blind spots, limiting researchers’ ability to provide comprehensive insights. This workshop aims to address these challenges.
Radical Participatory Research
with Victor Udoewa
8 hours over 2 segments: March 20-21, 2025
This workshop will start with a short, general introduction to Participatory Research methodologies, and then specifically introduce a type of relational research called Radical Participatory Research (RPR), a meta-methodology. We will explore ways to transition to RPR, team recruitment, bias awareness, transitional facilitation, intersectional research, asset-based methodologies, compensation, evaluation, and RPR advocacy.
AI for UX Researcherswith Llewyn Paine
8 hours over 2 segments: March 25 & 27, 2025
As researchers begin to adopt LLMs, it can be hard to determine where AI makes research better, where it falls short, and where the human researcher provides unique value. In this workshop, learn a framework for understanding AI’s capabilities within the context of user research and workshop opportunities for AI to evolve the role of research, making the researcher even more valuable in this new world.
Listening Deeplywith Indi Young
8 hours over 4 segments: March 18, 21, 25, 28, 2025
Listening is the foundation for inclusivity, for new opportunities to support more people, and also for powerful team efficiency. Having clear techniques for understanding a person’s interior cognition–for developing cognitive empathy–allows professionals the foundation for later finding patterns that will reveal gaps and inclusive, intentional direction for your solutions. This workshop will teach you how to pay rapt attention. And when and why to do it.
