Intersectional Qualitative Research Methods Institute (IQRMI)
IQRMI: Coming to Ohio State in 2026!
The 2026 IQRMI will take place at Ohio State University from May 31- June 5, 2026.
After ten successful years at the University of Maryland, Kirwan is delighted to welcome IQRMI to OSU. The week-long research institute is one of very few in the country that focus on qualitative research methods and intersectionality. It is designed for early career scholars – faculty or post-docs – who have a concrete research project they are working on and who are in the process of establishing their research agenda. Check back in November to learn more about next year’s application deadlines and instructions.
Any US early career scholar (post-doctoral fellow or faculty member) may apply for the institute.
