The WCU Qualitative Research Group (QRG), an interdisciplinary, collaborative research seminar open to faculty, staff and graduate students, is beginning its 23rd year. It was founded at a time when qualitative research was relatively unknown.
The QRG is organized around participants’ qualitative research interests – from inception of ideas, to methods, proposals, discussion of papers, or presentation of software for data analysis. Participants simply indicate a topic they would like to present or process, and ask the facilitator to put them on the schedule.
Participants range from experienced qualitative researchers to novices. The meetings provide opportunities for those working on manuscripts, conference presentations, theses and dissertations to present and seek feedback on current or planned projects.
If you are interested in qualitative research, bring your brown-bag lunch and join us. To get on the QRG email list, contact the current facilitator, Lori Caudle. She will send a calendar schedule once she has the names of those interested. If you want to know more about the QRG, contact any of the following:
