CUARTO CONGRESO INTERNACIONAL DE INVESTIGACIÓN
CUALITATIVA
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA
UN DÍA EN ESPAÑOL/ADIS 2008
14 de mayo de 2008
El Congreso Internacional de Investigación Cualitativa organizado por la
Universidad de Illinois en Urbana Champaign, viene ganando relevancia dentro
de los eventos académicos sobre investigación cualitativa en el mundo.
Convoca instituciones e investigadores de diversas disciplinas, quienes
comparten allí sus trabajos, posturas, experiencias y propuestas.
A partir del 2007, el Congreso Internacional de Investigación Cualitativa, ha
incluido un evento PRE-conferencia en varios idiomas diferentes al inglés, con
el objeto de mejorar la comunicación entre investigadores y allanar las barreras
de una única lengua para la presentación de trabajos, lo cual permitirá
fortalecer el desarrollo de la investigación cualitativa en los investigadores e
instituciones participantes.
Para el caso del día en español ADIS (A day in Spanish) se propuso que la
organización del evento se rotara entre los asistentes, según los países de
procedencia. La organización de ADIS–2008 fue encomendada a los
representantes de Colombia, en cabeza de Universidad de Antioquia.
Lo invitamos a participar con sus ponencias, resultado del trabajo investigativo,
o construcciones teóricas alrededor de la investigación cualitativa, en el marco
de la temática del Congreso, la cual se enfoca en la Etica, Evidencia y Justicia
Social. También son bienvenidos trabajos en otras temáticas, dado el carácter
plural y abierto del congreso.

The Fourth International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry
www.icqi.org
Ethics, Evidence and Social Justice
Theme
The Fourth International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry will take place at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from May 14-18, 2008. The theme of
the Congress, building on previous Congresses, is “Ethics, Evidence and Social
Justice.” The Fourth Congress will offer the international community of
qualitative research scholars the opportunity to engage in debate on ethical,
epistemological, methodological and social justice issues. In these changing
times, there are attempts to impose uniform bio-medical ethical standards on
qualitative research. There are also increasing efforts to judge qualitative
research in terms of experimental, or so-called scientifically based criteria. The
politics of evidence and ethics carries important implications for how qualitative
research is used in the pursuit of social justice issues. Participants will explore
the relationship between these three terms and what these relationships mean
for qualitative inquiry in this new century. If we as qualitative researchers do not
take control of these terms for ourselves, someone else will.
The 2008 Congress has several new and returning co-sponsors, including
Women and Gender in Global Perspectives (UIUC), the Program in Global
Studies (UIUC), Sage Publications, LeftCoast Press, The Society for the Study
of Symbolic Interaction, and the Manchester Discourse Power Group (DPR).
Keynote speakers (Tentative)
Gloria Ladson-Billings, University of Wisconsin, Madison:
"The Moral Activist Role of Critical Race Theory Scholarship"
Gloria Ladson-Billings is Professor in the Department of Curriculum and
Instruction at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Senior Fellow in Urban
Education of the Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University.
She is the former president of the American Educational Research Association,
and has been elected to membership in the National Academy of Education,
which advances high quality education research and its use in policy
formulation and practice. Her primary research interests are in the relationships
between culture and school and critical race theory. She is the author of The
Dreamkeepers: Successful Teachers of African-American Children and is editor
of the Teaching, Learning, and Human Development section of the American
Education Research Journal.
Ian Stronach, Manchester Metropolitan University
"Ethics, evidence and the demand for ‘docile bodies’"
This paper will address the conference theme ‘Ethics, Evidence and Social
Justice’ by looking at the theory and practice of social ‘docility’, as it has
developed since the writings of Foucault almost 40 years ago. It will examine
the case for claiming that a creeping authoritarianism has invested policy in
professional domains, sometimes in the guise of micro-management,
sometimes under the rubrics of the audit culture, and sometimes through the
systemisation of improvement and progress discourses. Has there been a move
from civility to docility, and, if so, what does that tell us about the nature of
citizenship and identity in contemporary societies?
The role of moral panics and policy hysteria in these processes will also be
considered, particularly in relation to the maintenance of regimes and
economies of concern and control. Such themes are a matter of theoretical
interest, and the paper will draw on some of the later works of Jean-Luc Nancy,
amongst others. At the same time, some of the targets of these repressions will
be examined in relation to, for example, the ‘pregnant teenager’, the policing of
client ‘touch’ in professional arenas, and the government inspection of
progressive schools – in particular, the ongoing saga of inspection of A.S Neill’s
Summerhill ‘free school’ from 1999 to the present. (Yes, it stil exists!). These
cases have all been empirically explored by the author, through funded
research. Each has something to tell us about how scapegoats are engendered
and punished, as well as about the more mundane policing of professional
behaviour through procedures and practices of regulation, and – increasingly –
self-regulation. If one of our final questions is: would Foucault recognise the
contemporary world in the light of the genealogies he developed in the 1960s
and 1970s, then a possible answer would seem to be that not only would he
recognise this world of ours, he would probably wonder whether some people
hadn’t mistaken his critique of ‘carceral society’ for a blueprint.
Ian Stronach is Research Professor in Education at the Institute of Education,
Manchester Metropolitan University, UK. He has been an Editor to the British
Educational Research Journal since 1996, and is on the Boards of Cultural
Studies< - >Critical Methodologies, British Journal of Education and Work,
Managing Global Transitions, an International Journal. Publications include
Educational Research Undone (with Maggie MacLure 1996), and Difference
and Diversity (co-edited with Heather Piper 2004). He is currently working with
Heather Piper on a book about ‘touch’ in professional contexts. He is currently
working on a sole-authored book, Globalising the Educational Project, and on a
jointly authored book on Early Professional Learning. He has published
extensively in journals in the UK, as well as in Qualitative Inquiry (2006) and the
International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (2006). Stronach’s
research interests are in postmodernist theorizing, evaluation, and qualitative
methodologies in general. His main current research is into professionalism,
looking at ‘touch’ in such contexts, as well as a longitudinal study of the early
professional learning of teachers in Scotland, England, and Slovenia. He directs
the doctoral programme for the National Leadership School of Slovenia (1996present), is a research consultant there to the University of Primorska, as well
as being a member of the Discourse, Power, Resistance initiative, which runs a
sister-conference to ICQI in the UK every March.

learn more about the Fourth International Congress and how to participate,
please email info[at]icqi[dot]org.
Pre-Conference Language Events
On May 14 there will be at least four pre-conference language events: for
Spanish, Japanese, Turkish and Slovenian-speaking scholars. Delegates need
to check our website for developments with these special events.
Couch-Stone Meeting
The 2008 Couch-Stone Symposium of the Society for the Study of Symbolic
Interaction will be held in conjunction with the 4th International Congress. The
SSSI will be co-sponsors of the Congress, and will share their program and
keynote speaker with Congress participants. This joint conference will be a
wonderful opportunity for IAQI members to learn more about symbolic
interactionism. It also presents an opportunity for symbolic interactionists to
learn more about the IAQI community. To help make this joint meeting a
success, delegates are invited to consult the call for papers in the present issue
of SSSI Notes.
DPR Session
Our Manchester colleagues believe it is useful to conceptualize research as
subversive activity, as work that unsettles, challenges and contests existing
social and educational formations. Subversive research resists work that is at
ease with the methodological preconceptions of federal and private funding
bodies. Subversive scholars seek discourses of resistance that contest current
notions of truth, justice, healing, health, schooling, identity, learning and
teaching.
IAQI has a reciprocal relationship with the DPR group. They will have several
high profile sessions on the themes of the Congress. In turn, IAQI will have a
publicity stand and a videoconference presence at the March, 2008 DPR
Conference at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Illinois Qualitative Dissertation Award
The International Center for Qualitative Inquiry is pleased to announce the
annual Illinois Qualitative Dissertation Award, for excellence in qualitative
research in a doctoral dissertation. Eligible dissertations will use and advance
qualitative methods to investigate any topic. Applications for the award will be
judged by the following criteria: clarity of writing; willingness to experiment with
new and traditional writing forms; advocacy, promotion, development, and use
of qualitative research methodologies and practices in new fields of study, and
in policy arenas involving issues of social justice.
There are two award categories, traditional (Category A), and experimental
(Category B). Submissions in both categories address social justice issues.
Submissions in Category A use traditional qualitative research and writing
forms, while Category B submissions experiment with traditional writing and
representational forms. An award of $250 will be given to each winner. All
doctoral candidates are eligible, provided they have successfully defended their
proposals prior to January 1, 2008, and will defend their final dissertation by
April 1, 2008. Receiving or being considered for other awards does not preclude
a student from applying for this award . Applications are due Febuary 1, 2008.
The 2008 award, co-sponsored with Sage Publications, will be made at the
opening plenary session of the Congress. For more information, please visit the
