Scientific research has been circumscribed to the parameters of quantitative research. However, it is clear that, in the face of the dominant paradigms, others have been consolidating and have made evident the paradigmatic controversies in relation to their axiomatic nature. Currently, qualitative research has developed solid lines of inquiry related to approaches aimed at subjective points of view, description of the creation of social situations and hermeneutic analysis of the underlying structures. In a certain sense, a standard was being defined about how and with what concepts should be known. In the mid-twentieth century, what we might well call today the qualitative revolution was strengthened, which has not only borne fruit, but has consolidated itself as a style that has been nurtured by a particular ontology, epistemology and methodology beyond commensurability. With the aim of positioning qualitative research at the center of the debate, reflection and work, the Peruvian Association of Qualitative Research (apic), founded in 2019, decided to organize the First International Seminar on Qualitative Research, this online seminar had speakers from Peru, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and Spain, as well as more than 1600 people registered from 15 countries basically from Latin America. This research book gathers in 11 chapters some of the papers presented for this Seminar. Thanks to the efforts of Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia (ucc) and the Mexican Society of Social Psychology (somepso), this piece of work was built with the collaboration of researchers from different countries. The purpose of this manuscript is to present a set of papers that will serve as support and inspiration for researchers in training, young researchers and consolidated researchers in the field of qualitative research. In this sense, the book is composed of two sections, the methodological and the empirical chapters. The first section presents the methodological reflections proposed by the authors that can serve as a guide, inspiration and discussion to carry out qualitative research. This section includes unpublished theorizations prepared for this seminar. The second section presents qualitative research experiences that reflect the research work. All the papers presented here are unpublished and were prepared specifically for this book.
