The goal of the 2011 Qualitative Analysis Conference is to explore methodological, theoretical and substantive issues in qualitative research.  This year’s conference aims to examine and celebrate the utility of qualitative inquiry while also highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of qualitative research.  Qualitative methodology continues to advance and be employed in new ways, and in disciplines more traditionally accustomed to quantitative analysis.  With the increasing use of qualitative methodology, and its application in new empirical settings and theoretical landscapes, what methodological challenges and advances are being faced by researchers and what gains are being achieved?

 

To this end, our conference welcomes theoretical, empirical, and methodological papers from both novice and veteran scholars, as they address the following topics:

If your paper does not fit into these categories, but is related to interpretivist scholarship, or ethnographic, qualitative research in some way, we still very much encourage you to send in an abstract.  With enough submissions on one area, we can develop new themes as appropriate.

Featured Speaker: We are pleased to announce that Adele Clarke will act as a featured speaker on “Situational Analysis: Grounded Theory after the Postmodern Turn.”
