TRIP | The Research Inclusion ProjectS04E02: The Importance of Cultural Brokers | Jill Kushner-BishopIn this episode, we discuss the importance of including a ‘cultural broker’ on your team; someone fluent in the culture - not just the language - who can weigh in on planning and materials to ensure they will resonate with your target audience(s). We also talk through how to prioritize translations and transcriptions, when AI can help, and when a human is needed to include cultural subtleties and nuances along the way.

Director of Digital Product Management, Ad Council
Rebecca shares how empathy has helped her research strategy by navigating the nuance of diverse beliefs and, above all, meeting people where they are. In her research, she has to discover where people are in media outlets and where they are from an emotional journey perspective. She balances the challenges of soliciting new information to build new campaigns, reach different audiences, and language that authentically connects with them to make an impact.

Particularly how it relates to finding and engaging harder to reach targets or underrepresented groups (i.e. people who are non-binary on the gender spectrum, people with disabilities, etc.). I feel like a lot of companies, ours included, have mastered the art of social media advertising - and that's great. It brings in new people to MR - but often they are general market. When things get tricky (and fun) is when you have to not only go find people or orga...2020-04-0425 minTRIP | The Research Inclusion ProjectS01E03: A respondent first approach to recruiting | Kayla Bright, Research Program Manager (Facebook)GUEST

I jumped at the opportunity because the project was on sickle cell research, and I lost my sister to sickle cell. There is a substantial gap in diverse thought leadership and representation in the research industry. Inclusion is about more than representation but about the making real and lasting change to the status quo as a result of that. I hope for our own field to become more inclusive.
