We provide community, consultation, and professional development for scholars of color who bring lived expertise to rigorous qualitative & interpretive research.

A research institute that does things differently.

We believe that research should be more than collecting information, especially for scholars with lived experience in what we study. We provide consultation, training, and professional development for those who want to bring that lived expertise to rigorous qualitative research.

We believe that high quality research is driven by asking questions that matter to our communities, using socially and racially just methods that prioritize the value of relationships, healing, and growth of all involved.

Our services support excellence in the use of qualitative and interpretive methods across a wide spectrum of platforms and skill levels.

Our individualized consultation provides customized support to you and your research team. From research design to dissemination, we are your thought partner to help ensure your project is both rigorous and designed to make a difference.

We know that being a scholar of color can add both challenges and opportunities for your work. We also know that being an insider to the scholarly interests you have is an asset requiring skills that you should develop and refine. Our professional development courses help you to do just that. No matter what your level or stage of career.

The field of research is always changing with new methods and methodology, terms, standards, and innovations. Our courses and webinars are designed to keep up with a changing field, while retaining a grounding in solid interpretive scientific foundations.
