Brett Meyer, Phd Email & Phone Number

Today’s complex and interconnected world requires researchers with both breadth of knowledge and the curiosity and proven ability to learn new methods and adapt to new issues and contexts. I combine knowledge of diverse tools and methods for data analysis with knowledge of political and economic issues across different regions and countries. I also bring record of communicating these to audiences of differing backgrounds and levels of expertise. I've honed my research expertise through almost 15 years of experience building and analyzing dozens of datasets, conducting numerous international interviews and focus groups, and publishing over two dozen academic articles, research reports, and short pieces. You'll see from my profile that I have an extensive record of research communication with different types of audiences, presenting in over a dozen conferences to policy experts, to diverse groups of students, and appearing in print, radio, and on television. I also have experience in team building and management, having hired a team of 8 for an online public policy analysis course that has remained in place for over four years and increased student enrollment by over 50%.I’m driven by a holistic approach to research and communication. I believe that we must draw on broad insights best learned through data analysis and on personal insights from talking to people from different places and backgrounds. By being curious about the world and broadening our knowledge of issues and places, we will be better able to gain new insights and connect with diverse audiences.► International Qualitative Research.
