Workshop SenseMaker with Kristof Rubens - June 4, 2021
How can we listen to the large silent majority in research?
Often when collecting experiences and stories from people of interest, our methods only allow us to tap in to the experiences of very few participants. This holds us back from collecting large-scale experiential stories, both for one-off and continuous research projects. Sensemaker, a monitoring analysis methodology, introduces large-scale listening and continuous journaling techniques that can help us in obtaining more representative experiences from a large number of target audience members. Kristof Rubens from the Environment Department of the Flemish Government already has some experience with Sensemaker, and held an explanatory workshop for anyone in the Faculty of Social Sciences interested in learning more about these data collection and analysis techniques.
