For Grad Students Interested in Qual Methods

Dear QIers,

We are considering the development of a Graduate Interdisciplinary Specialization (GIS) in qualitative inquiry. A GIS is like a minor for graduate students in which they take one or two required, core courses along with related elective courses that are not in their own program.

In preparation, we would like to organize a workshop series for graduate students on qualitative inquiry in Winter and Spring 2012 on different aspects of qualitative inquiry (e.g., conceptual frameworks, research design, data collection and analysis, writing and representation). One of the goals of the seminar series is to make an inventory of students' needs and visions for a QI GIS.

We are looking for graduate students who want to help co-organize (and conceptualize) the workshop series.

If you are a graduate student who is interested, please send us an e-mail.

If you are a faculty member and have a graduate student who may be interested, please forward our e-mail.

Many thanks,

Candace Stout

IP research in the news... Congratulations Dr. Renfro Powers!

MedicalExpress.com recently featured an article by Dr. Renfro Powers published in Computers in Human Behavior showing that when two strangers first talked about an emotionally charged topic over a video connection with a one-second delay, they actually reported less frustration than did those who talked with no delay.

Powers said the reason is that the delay forced participants to make more effort to follow each other, and they weren't thinking as much about the difficult topic they were discussing or the uncomfortable situation they were in.

Read the complete article.
