This is a series of workshops on the craft of qualitative research. Join our mailing list or follow us on LinkedIn or Bluesky for updates on new episodes.

We welcome suggestions for workshops! Please note that we plan well ahead and we are a team of volunteers, so it might take time before we can incorporate any ideas. In organizing our activities, we strive to follow our ethos, treasure diversity, and be inclusive of various approaches and profiles.
