About Us

 

“Qualitative Research is a critical tool for educational [and human science] researchers to investigate complex problems that answer questions about how to develop a society that values equity and justice in our higher education institutions and the policies that guide their operation.”

Penny A. Pasque & Vicente M. Lechuga
Qualitative Inquiry in Higher Education Organization and Policy Research (2017, p. xi)

The QualLab is a research center that fosters capacity building of faculty, policy makers, post-docs, researchers, practitioners, and graduate students across fields & disciplines. We strive to be an inter/national virtual community for advancing qualitative inquiry, methodologies, and methods with a focus on “rigor” or “quality” based on a researcher’s own paradigmatic approach.
