Please share the attached CFP with any graduate students or qualitative research faculty who might be interested in participating in the 2025 Qualitative Research Network at the Conference on College Composition and Communication.
Individual or collaborative Research Presentations are invited for the Qualitative Research Network (QRN) to be held Wednesday, April 9, from 1:30 – 5:00 at the 2025 Conference on College Composition and Communication in Baltimore, MD.
The Qualitative Research Network, which occurs annually at the CCCC, is offered for both new and experienced qualitative researchers. The QRN provides mentoring and support to qualitative researchers at all levels of experience and working in diverse areas of study within the college composition and communication community. As a pre-conference research network, the QRN is open to everyone, including those who are already presenting at the conference in other venues.
Keynote Presentation
The initial hour of the workshop will feature Dr. Ashley J. Holmes and Dr. Elise Verzosa Hurley, co-editors of the recent book Learning from the Mess: Methodological Praxis in Rhetoric and Writing Studies, which is available open-access on the WAC Clearinghouse website. Dr. Holmes serves as the Associate Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning at Oregon State University, and Dr. Hurley is currently associate professor of English at Illinois State University and editor of Rhetoric Review. Their extensive experience with qualitative research positions them to offer an engaging and thought-provoking keynote.
Research Roundtables: The bulk of the workshop features research roundtables where novice and experienced researchers present work-in-progress for feedback and discussion. Experienced qualitative researchers offer suggestions and facilitate discussion. Each presenter has 20-30 minutes for both presentation and discussion of their work-in-progress. Presenters at the research roundtables may focus on specific concerns and/or broader issues related to qualitative research.
Digital QRN: In order to make the QRN more open and available to scholars who cannot attend the conference, the QRN will also provide research roundtables through a digital platform for sharing work-in-progress. Prospective presenters should indicate on their proposal submission if they will be attending the conference in person or would prefer to be considered for the Digital QRN. (If CCCC moves to a fully online format, then the QRN will host all sessions online.)
Proposal Information: Please submit via the linked Google form below a brief description (approximately 500 words) of your research proposal by 11:59 pm EST on December 15, 2024.
We encourage submissions from those at any stage of the research process (e.g., planning, data collecting, data analyzing, publishing).
Please be sure that your proposal includes a brief overview of the research project, the stage of its development, and the questions/issues you wish to discuss with other researchers. Descriptions need not be exhaustive. We ask that you provide a general overview of your study as well as a statement about the kinds of feedback you would like to receive. If you have any questions or would like further information, please contact us.
***Presenters for research roundtables will be notified of their acceptance by December 20, 2024. We will request confirmation of acceptances by January 15, 2025. ***
