Sessions in the 2022 Congress will take up these topics, as well as those related to and/or utilizing: feminist inquiry Critical Race Theory intersectionality queer theory critical disability research phenomenology Indigenous methodologies postcolonial and decolonized knowing poststructural engagements diffraction and intra-action digital methodologies autoethnography visual methodologies thematic analysis performance art as research critical participatory action research multivocality collaborative inquiry and the politics of evidence. Although we do not know what the future may hold, we must ensure our voices will be heard as we continue to intervene into the spaces of the everyday–working toward a more diverse, inclusive, and transformative present. These challenges and demands may require us to rethink our ethical, political, and methodological moorings–especially in an evolving COVID landscape. It is in the hands of the diverse and evolving ICQI community to intervene into the challenges and demands that we face–to be present to the history that we all shape. Our inquiry must meet the demands of our hopeful–but evolving–future. We need a rethinking of where we have been, and, crucially, where we are going–and how we will get there. Collectively and collaboratively, this moment calls for a critical, performative, social justice inquiry directed at the multiple crises of our historical present. In these uncertain times, the 2022 Congress looks ahead with a renewed sense of hope, but remains grounded in the reality that much work lies ahead. The theme of the 2022 Congress is Transformative Visions and Utopias of Hope in Qualitative Inquiry.Ībstracts can be submitted beginning Septemthrough January 15.Īs we prepare for the 2022 Congress, it is becoming ever more common to hear that ‘the world’ has turned multiple corners in the last year: COVID-19 vaccines are becoming increasingly available to the broader population global economies are rebounding a new- found sense of hope is slowly making its way into the popular vernacular.Īnd yet while the above may ring true in some quarters of the world, we cannot lose sight of the broader context in which the 2022 Congress will take place: not only will the social, cultural, political, and economic fallout from COVID-19 continue to impact all quarters of daily life (including the politicization of vaccines, mask wearing, and so forth), but so, too, will the following: the social justice struggles of BlackLivesMatter and #MeToo movements growing violence against Asian American and Pacific Islander communities rising authoritarianism and nationalist sentiment settler colonialism environmental crises economic shocks to higher education continuing public health crises political assaults on science the fracturing of communities.
#ICQ MEANING UPDATE#
We will continue to update the ICQI community via the Congress website ( ) as we proceed in our planning over the next few months. We trust that participants will bear with us as we navigate these difficult and uncertain times. Given the current state of the global pandemic, it may become necessary in the intervening period for the Congress to move solely to a fully online virtual model for 2022 (as we were forced to do in 2021). However, the safety of our community is of the utmost importance. If the Congress is held in-person for 2022, Congress attendees must abide by any current COVID campus guidelines given by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. At present, we are hopeful that conditions will permit the 2022 Congress to be an in-person event at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and are making plans toward that end. The Organizing Committee of ICQI 2022 has been carefully evaluating how the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may impact the 2022 Congress meetings, including various forms of engagement (sessions, workshops, publisher exhibits, etc.) and delivery (face-to-face, hybrid, virtual).
