Panel discussions:
Ethical dilemmas in qualitative research: Research ethics is always evolving; new technologies, and societal shifts force us to face and respond to novel issues. For this panel discussion we welcome papers concerned with the real, experienced, and hypothetical ethical dilemmas and challenges qualitative research-academics face.
The quick, the dirty, and the downright filthy!: This stream is about holding our hands up and discussing the role of so called “quick and dirty qual”; qualitative research conducted rapidly and typically resulting and descriptive, topic summary themes. When is this approach appropriate and legitimate, and when is it not? How often do issues of time and other resources result in us feeling forced to compromise the depth of our analysis, and what does this mean for our participants who have allowed us, albeit briefly, into their worlds?
Open call: Have a suggestion for a panel discussion that you would like to develop? Please contact the QualSIG steering committee: [email protected]

The interview: the cases for and against, and suggestions for creative ways to conduct them: Throughout the day delegates will be encouraged to tweet their thoughts using the hashtag #NUQualSIG25 and/or drop their comments in a comments box at the reception desk.
