About Us

The purpose of this group is to create a space for graduate students and faculty doing qualitative research to present their working papers. Papers will be circulated a week before each meeting. There will be no presentation of the work, instead the meeting time will be devoted to providing feedback. Each participant is expected to read the paper in advance and provide feedback. We will typically meet the last Wednesday of every month unless otherwise noted.
