The QR SIG is hosting an informal get-together in San Francisco for our graduate students, early career researchers and faculty, and new QR SIG members.  We will meet at Jasper’s Corner Tap (401 Taylor Street San Francisco, CA 94102) from 8.30-10.00pm on Monday April 29th, after the Business Meeting.  We will convene in the bar area. We have not reserved a space specifically for our group, but we have been assured the bar area is large and accommodating.  We will bring along small signs to put on our tables so that QR SIG members can find one another.

Leave your stress and worries at the door and let’s plan to unwind, have some fun, and support one another!  We look forward to meeting our newest colleagues and members!

Cheers,
Jennifer Wolgemuth, QR SIG Mentoring Committee Chair
Eric Archer, QR SIG Dissertation Award Committee Chair
Mirka Koro-Ljungberg, QR SIG Chair

Come join your your QR SIG colleagues at our annual business meeting and celebration.

The agenda is also posted under the “Annual Meeting” tab above.

Qualitative Research SIG Program Highlights—AERA 2012

The Qualitative Research SIG is excited by our program for this year’s annual meeting. We had so many excellent submissions and the decisions of what to include and how to include were a challenge, to say the least. We have aimed for maximum diversity amidst this abundance of quality in the SIG program submissions. Please find listed below the sessions sponsored by the Qualitative Research SIG and those that we co-sponsor with Division D (Measurement and Research Methodology) and Division F (History and Historiography). More information about the authors and paper titles can be found in the searchable program on the AERA website: www.aera.net.
