Dr. Margot Wilson: Anthropologist and Publisher

I had a chance to see an intriguing presentation, and my first thought was: MethodSpace readers need to hear about this incredible researcher's work! Fortunately, she agreed, so you can hear her stories in this far-reaching interview. Dr. Margot Wilson describes her experiences that range from traditional anthropological fieldwork in rural Bangladesh, to modern online interview research with transgender individuals.

Don't lose those stories!

Qualitative researchers live for good stories that illustrate some aspect of the human experience. When she became aware of endangered stories, started a publishing company. Through Transgender Publishing she publishes books that honor and share stories from early trailblazers and contemporary LGBTQ writers.

Decolonizing research methods means rethinking how we look at participants and problems. In the digital world there are even more ways the European West exerts cultural, economic, and political control. At the same time, the digital world allows researchers to conduct studies across the distances.
