The Qualitative Research Special Interest Group, QRSIG, established in 1987, was created to provide a space within AERA for the discussion of philosophical, ethical, and methodological issues in Qualitative Research as well as to seek cutting edge approaches to qualitative research methods.  The QRSIG strives to legitimize all non traditional forms of research, and to support other SIG's and Divisions with similar interests and goals, including an emphasis on ways that qualitative research may contribute to reducing inequality and injustice in schools and society. 

AERA 2025 will be held April 23–April 27, 2025, Denver, CO. See link for more information: https://www.aera.net/Events-Meetings/Annual-Meeting/2025-Annual-Meeting-Presidential-Program-Theme
