This section focuses on qualitative research that interrogate, extend, and/or advance qualitative inquiry. The section is inclusive of a range of qualitative methodological traditions including, but not limited to, ethnographic, phenomenological, interpretive, critical, arts-based, performative, decolonizing, feminist, participatory, and post-qualitative methodologies and the methods of data generation and analysis associated with those methodologies. Submissions might evaluate existing qualitative approaches or develop and demonstrate new ones. Submissions might bring new theories and theoretical perspectives to qualitative inquiry that engender novel understandings and enactments of what qualitative research can be and produce. We also welcome submissions that focus on teaching, mentoring, and learning qualitative research. In the spirit of the meeting theme, the Section 3 co-chairs encourage qualitative method(ology)-focused submissions of all kinds that revisit long standing methodological challenges and, reimagine and reenvision methodological possibilities.
