QualLab Signature Events
QualLab Lunches – QualLab Lunches are a series of lunches that offer information about an important qualitative topic such as anti-racist research designs, ethics in ethnographic research, how to obtain grants with a qualitative design, and more. Many faculty use these videos for qualitative courses.
- The video recordings of past events may be found on our YouTube channel.
Advanced Methods Institute – The last AMI on qualitative inquiry was held in June 2023 (more here) and in June 2021 (more here). We are searching for funding to continue this institute, although it broke even each year, the college offered support via staff.
Unapologetic Educational Research: Addressing Anti-Blackness, Racism and White Supremacy – A QualLab & Educational Studies Research Series, the purpose of the Unapologetic series is to engage researchers in thinking about and reflecting on what it means to conduct educational research from a standpoint that honors Black lives in the research process, while also disrupting racism and white supremacy. Given the unprecedented moment we are all experiencing in our lifetime we are committed to shifting the landscape of qualitative research and using this research to shift our sociopolitical context toward racial equity and justice. Each OSU Alum engaged in a discussion with Dr. Lori Patton Davis, Professor and Department Chair of Educational Studies (now at UCLA) and Dr. Penny A. Pasque, Professor and Director of QualLab. Faculty continue to use this series in qualitative courses.
QualLab Graduate Student Board was a gathering of graduate students who learned qualitative research as they worked on 1) research apprenticeships, 2) grants, 3), international & Ohio State presentations, and 4) publications. The support for this initiative has been discontinued by the college due to financial constraints. Consider starting your own student-led research!
[Em]Power Hours was a monthly in-person collaborative learning/working gathering focused on qualitative inquiry and methodology for the EHE community but support for this was discontinued by the college due to “financial constraints”. Consider starting your own student-led group!
#SoCGrad Support Colloquium – a monthly event (discontinued by the college) #SoCGrad Support Colloquium was a space for @OSUEHE graduate students of color to come together and learn from EHE faculty member of color and each other. Each month, we invited a faculty host of color to speak on a topic related to graduate student experiences around research and graduate school. We provided opportunities for caucus groups / small group discussions where Latinx / Black/ Native / AAPI / multi-racial students could connect with each other. See the EDGE website for past faculty guest speakers & dates. Sponsored by the Racial Justice & Equity Task Force “students” subcommittee (chairs – Colette Dollarhide & Penny Pasque; Noelle Arnold chairs the full task force for the college).
