When it comes to successful international qualitative research, one fundamental factor is often neglected. It’s crucial that we adapt our communications style to diverse cultural contexts. 

During October’s webinar, Louise McLaren and Louise Pasteur de Faria consider how communications styles vary across cultures. Drawing from academic theory and real-world experience - as well as using short exercises for interactive learning - they show how to ensure your methodologies and materials are designed to achieve their objectives.  

The result? Being able to surface powerful insights regardless of the cultural context. This webinar is designed for qualitative researchers particularly at mid-level, but is relevant to all. 

What you’ll learn: 

  • The importance of tailoring communications style to different cultural contexts during international qualitative research 
  • Real-world examples of qualitative research that has been well adapted across countries, and examples of research that has not 
  • How to make sure your methodologies and materials are designed to achieve their objectives 
  • Tangible inspiration and considerations to take into your work
