Qualitative Research

Dr. Warson’s expertise in qualitative research stem from her doctoral studies at Colorado State University where she studied methods of qualitative and visual research and environmental psychology with psychologist Dr. James Banning. Since 2002, Dr. Warson has been researching qualitative approaches in analyzing the dynamic relationship between verbal associations, behavioral considerations, and artmaking to provide contextual meaning to understanding visual forms of expression. Dr. Warson has served as a principal investigator on over 50 student, program, and independent research studies, employing evidence-based models with mixed methods designs as well as different paradigms of qualitative research (post-positivist & postmodern). Because of Dr. Warson’s collaborative research with American Indian communities, she is well versed in culturally responsive practices including community-driven and community-based participatory approaches.
