The International Institute for Qualitative Methodology (IIQM) is an interdisciplinary institute based at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, but serving qualitative researchers around the world. IIQM was founded in 1998, with the primary goal of facilitating the development of qualitative research methods across a wide variety of academic disciplines.

Today, IIQM is re-focusing its efforts on change-oriented qualitative research, especially through intersectional, interdisciplinary, and community-engaged approaches. Please continue to visit our site for updates on opportunities.

"Futures Ethnography"

with Dr. Sarah Pink

APRIL 3, 3:00–4:30 PM (MST) 
Online via Zoom
REGISTER HERE

We invite you to register for the third talk of the Pushing the Boundaries of Qualitative Inquiry virtual speaker series: "Futures Ethnography," presented by Dr. Sarah Pink. The session will be hosted and moderated by Justine Kohleal (Curator and PhD Student, Art & Design).
In this talk, Dr. Pink introduces Futures Ethnography: ethnographic practice that is focused on investigating everyday experiences, imaginaries and visions of possible futures. She argues that establishing a futures ethnographic practice is vital if we are to address the questions of our times. Dr. Pink focuses on experimental, design and creative practice methods as modes of engaging with dominant narratives, participants in research, and academic and non-academic audiences. She discusses and demonstrates a selection of futures ethnography methods developed across recent projects, bringing to the fore the role of sensory, visual and documentary practice in this methodological field.
