Series: International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry
Research Clusters: Social and Policy Sciences

Begins: Wednesday, 26 May 2010
Ends: Saturday, 29 May 2010

The theme of the Sixth International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry (QI2010) is, "Qualitative Inquiry for a Global Community in Crisis." It is clear that in these troubling political times, qualitative researchers are called upon to become human rights advocates, to honor the sanctity of life, and the core values of privacy, human dignity, peace, justice, and freedom from fear and violence.

The 2010 Congress will offer scholars the opportunity to form coalitions and engage in debate and dialogue on how qualitative research can be used to advance the causes of social justice, while addressing racial, ethnic, gender and environmental disparities in education, welfare and healthcare. Delegates will show how critical inquiry can be used to bridge gaps in cultural and linguistic understandings.  The Congress takes place at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, May 26-29, 2010. Panel & Paper Submission deadline is December 1, 2009.
