About the webinar:
Now more than ever, information from the Global South should be shared to ensure justice, equality, and equity for all forms of knowledge. This is especially problematic with AI models being trained and tested primarily based on information from the Global North. Collecting and sharing information that represents a plurality of bodies of knowledge is imperative. Survey research is one of the ways that researchers collect information, asking for answers to specific questions from a selection of people. Information from survey research allows researchers to understand, interpret, and even change the world. In this webinar, the focus will be on using survey interviewing to create quality data. You will learn about the role of the interviewer, how to ask great questions, how to deal with bias, a practical system to apply during survey interviews, examples of do’s and don’ts for survey interviewing, and the ethical principles to adhere to, to make sure that the credibility of your research is not compromised.
