The goal of the 2011 Qualitative Analysis Conference is to explore methodological, theoretical and substantive issues in qualitative research.&nbsp; This year’s conference aims to examine and celebrate the utility of qualitative inquiry while also highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of qualitative research.&nbsp; Qualitative methodology continues to advance and be employed in new ways, and in disciplines more traditionally accustomed to quantitative analysis.&nbsp; With the increasing use of qualitative methodology, and its application in new empirical settings and theoretical landscapes, what methodological challenges and advances are being faced by researchers and what gains are being achieved?&nbsp;To this end, our conference welcomes theoretical, empirical, and methodological papers from both novice and veteran scholars, as they address the following topics:Debating Standards in Qualitative Research
The Use of Technology in Qualitative Research
Emotionality and Emotional Labour in the Field
Reflexivity and Theory in Qualitative Inquiry
Ethical Regulations and Ethical Boundaries
Team-Based Qualitative Research
If your paper does not fit into these categories, but is related to interpretivist scholarship, or ethnographic, qualitative research in some way,&nbsp;we still very much encourage you to send in an abstract.&nbsp; With enough submissions on one area, we can develop new themes as appropriate.
