TQR 11th Annual Pre-Conference Workshop

We are excited to announce that we have added a pre-conference workshop by Johnny Saldaña on Tuesday, January 14, 2020 from 1 p.m.-4 p.m. at Nova Southeastern University.

Johnny Saldaña, Professor Emeritus from Arizona State University-Tempe, facilitates a participatory workshop on “An Introduction to Qualitative Data Analysis.” The purpose of the workshop is to survey how narrative data can be inductively analyzed through different methods from the canon of qualitative inquiry heuristics. Three approaches to the analysis of interview and survey data will be demonstrated, and participants will explore each of these methods with authentic data sets. The first is coding and categorizing the story of a man with depression and anxiety. The second is thematic analysis of a teacher’s narrative about her relationship with students. And the third is the development of assertions about a woman recounting her troubled adolescence. Additional workshop topics include constructing diagrams and matrices, analytic memos, and analytic writing. The workshop content and participatory exercises are designed to provide participants with a sampling of analytic approaches to non-numeric data. These approaches can be utilized with written and oral empirical materials for research, practice, and professional development. The workshop is targeted to graduate students and novices to qualitative research.

Handouts will be distributed to participants prior to the workshop and PowerPoint slides are emailed as a PDF to the workshop participants AFTER the workshop.

The registration fee for this workshop is $65. This is separate from the conference registration and will be limited to the first 140 registrants. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. Please visit the pre-conference workshop page below for more information and to register.

Department of Performing and Visual Arts Alumna Designs Murals for Westfield Broward Mall

Aina Rivas, B.A., 2019 graduate of the Department of Performing and Visual Arts (DPVA) in NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS), designed an ”interactive Instagramable mural” to mount on an empty mall barricade at Westfield Broward Mall. Rivas created the pieces digitally and the mall used her vectorized design to print the vinyl for the wall. Patrons can take pictures of themselves in front of the mural and then send them to their Instagram accounts.

Rivas indicated that, “Getting to see my artwork mounted at Westfield Broward Mall was so cool and seeing the work I put into it come to reality was really awesome! I would like to thank Professor Lopez for sending them my way and facilitating this contact.” Kandy Lopez-Moreno is a faculty member in DPVA. This fall Rivas will be starting a graduate program in Art Therapy in Illinois.

Sharks are Great on TV, Better in Real Life

Sharks are Great on TV, Better in Real Life

by Guy Harvey

As TV viewers are tuned in to sharks this week, the Guy Harvey Research Institute (GHRI) at Nova Southeastern University and Discovery Cove are focused on sharks year around. In fact, sharks served as the foundation for the successful 5-year partnership between Guy Harvey and Discovery Cove’s parent organization, SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment.

As SeaWorld Orlando was preparing to launch their “Mako” rollercoaster, they reached out to the GHRI, which maintains one of the longest running mako shark satellite tagging programs in the world. With SeaWorld’s support, the GHRI has greatly expanded our knowledge of this apex predator, tracking them in the Atlantic Ocean as far north as Newfoundland, as far south as Brazil, and as far east as the Azores. But most notably, since researchers are able to follow where these fish move, we were able to definitively see when one of our tagged fish was caught and taken back to port.

With over 100 satellite tagged mako sharks swimming around the western North Atlantic Ocean, over 30% of these sharks were caught and killed. This fishing mortality rate is 10 times higher than what was previously thought and well beyond a sustainable extraction rate. These data prompted fisheries managers to downgrade shortfin mako sharks to overfished, with overfishing occurring; add them to the Endangered Species List; and set new limits for commercial and recreational harvest.
