Melissa and Susy both took my Research Methods class and talked to me about how I “decolonized” research and the research process for them. We talked about how I used my DoorDashing experience as a participant observation model to do research. Susy then talks about how she learned how to love research because it helped her understand her own world as a Mexican in America. She also talks about how research became much more interesting when she found herself, her family, and her community being analyzed. We then talk about how professors can use research techniques like content analysis and participant observation to bring a sociological perspective to common everyday experiences.
