European Congress of Qualitative Inquiry 2019
Conference theme: ‘Qualitative Inquiry as Activism’ Wednesday 13 February – Friday 15 February Pre-conference workshops: Tuesday 12 February The Centre for Creative-Relational Inquiry (CCRI) at the University of Edinburgh looks forward to welcoming qualitative scholars – students, researchers, artists, independent scholars – from across the globe to the 3rd European Congress of Qualitative Inquiry. CCRI fosters qualitative research that is situated, positioned, context-sensitive, personal, experience-near, and embodied; research that embraces the performative and the aesthetic; research that engages with the political, the social, and the ethical; research that problematizes agency, autonomy, and representation; research that cherishes its relationship with theory, creating concepts as it goes; research that is dialogical and collaborative; and research that is explicit and curious about the inquiry process itself. Come and join us to extend, deepen, re-frame and challenge these propositions and to bring, create and generate new ones; propositions that are slow and urgent, generous and edgy, open and restless. Let’s meet in February 2019. Tell others. Bring others. Bring students, fellow students, colleagues. Bring your energies, commitments, imaginations, creativities, and possibilities. Bring coats, hats, gloves, and scarves. Bring your activism. Your work as activism. Let’s explore what ‘activism’ means, what it looks like, what it can do. You may not see yourself as ‘activist’ nor your work as ‘activism’: please come, please bring that. Keynote speakers:

Congratulations to Jameka! Don’t miss out! Register today for the Division D Graduate Student Seminar in New York!
You’ve been focused on your doctoral program, but what’s next? Where do you go from here? What will that look like? The Graduate Student Seminar Committee is excited to announce an outstanding panel of scholars who will provide invaluable advice in the session "I Have a PhD... Now What? Advice for a Career in Measurement and Research Methodology." The session will take place on Friday, April 13, from 8:00 am to 11:00 am at the AERA Annual Meeting in New York, NY. Yes, it starts early, but breakfast is provided, not to mention a fabulous way to start the annual meeting – gathering with like-minded graduate students and talking with experts in the field. The Division D Graduate Student Seminar will provide an extended opportunity for graduate students to interact with distinguished researchers on topics related to completing their degrees and moving into the job market, along with the knowledge and skills that will be needed for success in areas of quantitative and qualitative methodological research, application, and assessment in the future. Panelists will also be reading their own letters to their “professional younger selves” to reflect their advice to those beginning a career in this field, what they wish they would have known, the reassuring words that would have been helpful, and the unexpected occurrences that they could have better planned for (or not). The panelists' experience spans academic and applied settings, diverse methodological specialties, and various points in their career trajectories. The session will begin with a continental breakfast and include both large group discussions and focused small group roundtables. More details on the seminar are provided below. To register for this session, provide your name, complete mailing address, and preferred email address at https://iu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4Z6XCbg5QhHpeBL Registrants must be members of AERA Division D. The first 75 graduate students to register for and attend the Division D Graduate Student Seminar will receive a $100 contribution towards Conference expenses. (Session is free but registration is required for stipends; checks will be mailed to the addresses provided at the session after the conference.) Many thanks to the Graduate Student Seminar committee members: Deborah Bandalos (James Madison University), Lietta M. Scott (Arizona Department of Education), Jason Immekus (University of Louisville), Daniel Wright (Aspire University), Henry Yoo (ETS), Sarah Ferguson (Rowan University), and Daniel Adams (University of Wisconsin-Madison) for your guidance and feedback in developing this session. “I Have a PhD... Now What? Advice for a Career in Measurement and Research Methodology.” (Breakfast Meeting) Friday, April 13th, 2018; 8AM – 11AM Participants:
Maureen Flint, a doctoral student in Educational Research, was featured in the most recent issue of the Qualitative Research SIG Newsletter. In the "New Member Spotlight," she discussed her dissertation work:
"My current research project explores the intersections of race and place in higher education through an arts-based inquiry that combines focus groups, map making, photography, and mobile interviews. This inquiry builds from higher education research which suggests that students of color experience the space of campus as consistently more hostile than their white peers and that college campuses are persistently (re)produced as white through everyday interactions and encounters. Methodologically guided by a spatial and material turn, I conceptualize the place of higher education as ever constructing, variating, and expanding, a collection of relations, intensities, and flows that connect, flatten, and fold back on one another. A consideration of space and materiality enfolds temporality on global and local scales, exploring how national movements and the history of place entangle in the present and future production of place. To explore this entanglement, I facilitate focus groups where students are invited to “draw, write, or visually describe the place of campus” to begin a discussion of perceptions, representations, and experiences on campus. These focus groups are followed by individual guided walks where I accompany a student on a walk around campus. During these walks, students are invited to take pictures as we talk about their encounters, memories, and experiences in place. The geo-tagged paths of these walks, our conversations, and photographs intersect, overlap, depart and contradict in multiple ways. My project seeks to combine these encounters into a cartography, a map that weaves student experiences, maps, and photographs along walking paths that intersect with the history of place. Through layered and multiple (re)presentations of place my research seeks a nuanced and multifaceted reading of how higher education is produced as raced, and in turn, suggest possibilities for interrupting, resisting, and making differently the place of higher education." (QR SIG Spring Newsletter) Congratulations to Maureen! The QR SIG Mentoring Committee is again offering the opportunity for its members to receive one-to-one guidance from established qualitative scholars as well as emerging scholars. The “Office Hours” program invites prospective mentees to sign up and meet with a mentor at the AERA meeting, during which time they can ask the mentor's advice about issues of methodology, theory, and/or negotiating the academy as a qualitative and/or post qualitative researcher.

“Teaching and Learning Qualitative Research” January 16-18, 2019 Anyone who has ever taught someone how to do qualitative research knows the challenges and joys in helping somebody to not only understand and appreciate these approaches to rigorous inquiry, but also to perform and critique the skills necessary to produce works of quality and distinction. The lessons we learn when we endeavor to teach are reflective gifts we need to share so others striving to instruct and to study qualitative research can benefit from our practice-based wisdom. As students of qualitative research, we too gain valuable insights when we take a class, perform an exercise, and receive feedback. Be it the lessons we all learn conducting our first significant qualitative inquiry, comprehending a qualitative methodology we have never encountered, or discovering something new in our final day in the field, these first-hand experiences deserve to be heard and their teachings savored. As qualitative researchers, we also learn something new every time we conceptualize a study, conduct an inquiry, and report our findings. As reviewers and authors, we likewise learn together as we co-construct articles in a reflective, didactic dance of writing, reviewing, revising, and re-writing. In this vein, we are all students of the craft, engaging in a life-long exploration of qualitative research knowledge and skills. At the tenth annual conference of The Qualitative Report (TQR), we invite you to share your lessons learned from practicing, teaching, and writing qualitative research. In January 2019, we want you to help create a three-day learning community in South Florida by sharing your didactic stories: How do you teach qualitative research? What exercises work well in helping students master these skills? What learning technologies do you use? How should qualitative research degrees, certificate, curricula, and courses be organized to maximize effective learning? What innovations did you create to help you complete your first qualitative project? We want to hear these reflexive tales in your proposed papers, panels, and workshops so we all can learn lessons learned of qualitative research. Please submit your presentation ideas and join us next January at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida USA for TQR2019! We will be accepting submissions starting in February. Over the next few weeks we will share more details about TQR2019 on the conference's web site: https://www.tqr2019.com/. As always, please let us know your questions and comments by sending us your emails to tqr@nova.edu, posting to our Facebook page, or by tweeting us!
