Conversations on Method: Deconstructing Policy through the Researcher Reflective Journal

Qualitative Research Resource of the Week

Ethnographic Terminalia is an initiative designed to celebrate borders without necessarily exalting them. It is meant to be a playful engagement with reflexivity and positionality as it seeks to ask what lies beyond and what lies within disciplinary territories.

The Qualitative Report Third Annual Conference

"Creativity and the Qualitative Researcher" is the theme for TQR 2012 so we will explore questions of creativity and the qualitative researcher by featuring works of and on qualitative inquiry that exemplify the ingenuity of this diverse body of work and practitioners.

Featured Presentation

Janet Salmons' Virtual and Visual: Performing the Online Interview

Synchronous online interviews can use visual research methods to generate visual as well as verbal data. Typical interviews use verbal stimuli to produce a verbal response but images or media can complement words. Verbal stimuli can elicit a visual response; visual stimuli can elicit a verbal response. Visual communication and collaboration using the "Typology of Online Visual Interview Methods" introduced in Online Interviews in Real Time (Salmons, 2010) will be the presentation focus.
