A cultural contextual lens, built into the analysis
Context in the model
Culture is a variable in the analysis, not a line in the limitations section.
Answers stay attached
The participant's own words travel with the finding they produced.
Findings that travel
A finding does not stay in the researcher's hands, so the context goes with it.

Season 3 · Episode 11
“What counts as knowledge has always been filtered. The question is whether our tools admit it.”
This episode sits with a problem most researchers already know: the human condition is studied through instruments that were built somewhere, by someone, for a purpose. When culture is treated as noise, the finding is cleaner and less true.
Don walks through grand narratives and the mini-narratives they crowd out, the funds of knowledge learners arrive with, and the quiet labor of translating one's own knowledge into someone else's norms — then looks at what changes when the software itself keeps the context in view.
