About ICQE
The first International Conference on Quantitative Ethnography will bring together scholars seeking to meaningfully analyze and interpret large amounts of rich qualitative data. Quantitative ethnographic approaches have been used in a variety of fields, including learning analytics, history, and systems engineering, to understand human behavior and interaction. The goal of ICQE is to foster a community of researchers interested in sharing ideas, resources, and inspiration. Whether you are a seasoned quantitative ethnographer or simply want to learn more about a powerful approach to making meaning from big data, we hope you will join us for this first-of-its-kind conference!
Submission Guidelines
Submissions due 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8), 10 May 2019.
As this is the first conference of its kind, we encourage work of many kinds, including (but not limited to):
- Work from a wide range of disciplines in the social sciences, humanities, and other fields
- Work that represents new and innovative uses of tools for quantitative ethnography, including network analysis, automated coding, and approaches to reliability and validity of quantitative ethnographic analyses
- Work that explores the relationship between different techniques or methods for conducting quantitative ethnographic analyses
- Work that uses new and innovative solutions, tools, and methods to conduct quantitative ethnographic analyses
- Work that extends quantitative ethnographic techniques to new types of data, fields of study, or research questions
- Work that is formative, and describes prospective thinking about planned studies
- Work that presents empirical results, whether preliminary, exploratory, or confirmatory
- Work that discusses new theoretical issues in quantitative ethnography, or discusses and examines existing theoretical frameworks
The primary criteria are that work being presented is theoretically and methodologically thoughtful and sound, and helps build the QE community by sharing ideas, methods, resources, and inspiration.
ICQE 2019 will offer three submission formats.
- Papers (6 pages)
Full papers are intended for work that requires in depth explanations of conceptual background, methodology, data, argumentation, and/or findings.
- Posters (2 pages)
Posters are intended for work in its formative stages. The two-page poster abstract should identify the aspects of the work that will likely lead to productive discussions with conference participants in a poster session, including figures exemplifying the visual support to be provided for these discussions in the poster.
- Doctoral Consortium Applications
Doctoral consortium application information will be coming soon…
