Intersectional Qualitative Research Methods Institute (IQRMI)
Advancing early-career scholarship through research training, mentorship and community
The Intersectional Qualitative Research Methods Institute (IQRMI) is a week-long professional development program for postdoctoral scholars and early-career faculty who are actively developing their research agendas.
Hosted annually by the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity, IQRMI brings a small cohort of scholars from across the United States together to strengthen their qualitative research, deepen their understanding of intersectionality and build an intellectual community.
IQRMI is distinctive in its integration of intersectionality and qualitative research methods. Through focused writing time, research training, individualized mentoring and candid conversations about academic careers, participants gain tools and relationships that can help them advance their research.
Any US early career scholar (post-doctoral fellow or faculty member) may apply for the institute.
