ATTN Qual Researchers: Here are some resources I’ve compiled on trauma-informed research practices. I used them to train my incredible team of RAs, who conducted 120+ interviews with violence-involved men in Chicago. As researchers of crime and poverty, we often bear witness to people’s most challenging moments—probing, documenting, and analyzing their experiences. This work demands careful reflection: how we approach it can either perpetuate harm or foster healing and connection. The solution isn’t to avoid tough questions but to thoughtfully consider their impact—on our subjects, ourselves, and our teams. I’m still learning and would love to hear from others with similar experiences. Let’s keep this conversation going—here or beyond—and collaborate on ways to share knowledge on this front.
