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. Members evaluate existing qualitative approaches or develop and demonstrate new ones. Members also 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 focus on teaching, mentoring, and learning qualitative research.
