Abstract

In this reflective article, our research team discusses the lessons, tools, and experiences we gained while conducting culturally responsive qualitative research (CRQR) in the Deep US South. According to researchers, CRQR is a research methodology that includes qualitative designs and centers culture. With CRQR in mind, our team takes a look at four different research projects and a graduate class service-learning trip to explore the impacts of qualitative health research on both the participants and the researchers. Moreover, our intercultural team, which is composed of intergenerational researchers, discusses how to conduct research with participants living in the culturally rich, politically diverse, historically complex region of Gulf South. From the rural communities in North Louisiana to the capital city of Baton Rouge to Cancer Alley near our beloved New Orleans, we identified several tools and lessons we gathered at each pedagogical site. We share those lessons as storied data for other emerging researchers in the field.
