Qualitative Analysis Conference: 
Cultures of Narrative/Narratives of Culture

June 20-22, 2012

The 2012 Qualitative Analysis Conference is being organized around the theme: "Cultures of Narrative/Narratives of Culture." The goal of the conference is to explore the intersections between the cultures of our craft as qualitative researchers and the subjects and spaces we explore in the work we pursue. We therefore encourage submission of papers that span methodological, theoretical, and substantive issues in qualitative research. How do we tell the stories of our respondents? How do we weave theoretical or substantive narrative as we interpret the data our research generates? Whose story is this? How do place and space affect the construction and interpretation of data narratives? What is the narrative of your method? The stories we tell to ourselves and to others through the process of our research are crucial to understanding the importance of qualitative inquiry across a wide range of empirical settings, theoretical frameworks, and practical applications.
