Working Groups

Qualitative Inquiry

Led by: Candace Stout (Art Education) and Mark Moritz (Anthropology)

This working group is an interdisciplinary initiative dedicated to fostering cross-campus conversation among faculty and graduate students engaged in qualitative inquiry, including mixed methodologies. Scholars working in a variety of disciplines cross-cutting the arts, humanities, and the social, natural, behavioral, and applied sciences are engaging with increasing frequency in the rich variety of research strategies and methods that fall within a complex of domains in qualitative investigation. Committed to the multi-method approach and subscribing to varied conceptions of human experience, researchers engaged in qualitative inquiry, nonetheless, share interests and concerns in epistemology and analytical approaches to solving research problems. Given the size of our university, we are often unaware of the richness of human resources available to us; therefore, one of the central goals of this working group is to tap these resources, connect these departments, schools, and colleges toward sharing investigative strategies that complement, intermesh and illuminate new possibilities for qualitative inquiry. Through informal contacts alone, the interest list for this working group includes over 35 faculty working in departments such as Sociology, Social Work, History, English, African-American Studies, Design, Anthropology, Art Education, Education Policy & Leadership. http://qualinq.wikidot.com

About the Institute

Our Double Mission:
To facilitate emergent research collaborations between humanities faculty and others across the university;
To enable the humanities to act as a significant bridge from the University to the city of Columbus and the broader public culture.

The Institute seeks to be an active forum for exchange among scholars and citizens, both on and off campus, and a place where the University can think creatively about what it does.

Founded in 1997, the Institute is located just east of OSU's main campus, in the George Wells Knight House, originally the home of the first chair of History at Ohio State. ICRPH is underwritten by the College of Humanities, by an Academic Enrichment award from the Office of Academic Affairs, by generous special allocations from the Ohio General Assembly's Urban Initiative Program, and by project grants and gifts.
