If you are using qualitative research methods or are interested in learning more about them, join us at the Qualitative Research Community of Practice! We are a group of students who meet to discuss topics in qualitative research with the goal of furthering group members’ learning.   

Meeting time and place: 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month, starting at 3:00 pm in Macmillan Building Room 180.

Next meeting (November 22nd at 3:00 pm): Katie Koralesky (Animal Welfare Program PhD student) will be leading a discussion about institutional ethnography (IE). This method of inquiry was founded by Canadian sociologist Dorothy Smith. IE is a method of inquiry or discovery that focuses on how everyday life is socially organized. Katie is working to use this method of inquiry to understand how animal welfare law enforcement is socially organized by taking the standpoint of animals within the institution of animal welfare law enforcement.   

If you have any questions please email Katie at ktmills@mail.ubc.ca

We hope to see you there!
