First Thoughts from the 5th International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry (QI2009)

QIlogo2009-286-1 Here I am at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, all checked into the hotel and unpacked, and ready to attend this evening’s Pre-Congress Reception, from 7:00-9:00 in the Levis Faculty Center. I just heard about this reception yesterday, and think it is a nice (though not widely publicized) way to begin this, my first International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry.

Then, off to try to get my first full night’s sleep all week so I can be prepared for the two Pre-Conference Workshops I registered to attend tomorrow:

  1. New Experimental Writing Forms with Yvonna Lincoln
  2. Writing Autoethnography and Narrative in Qualitative Research with Art Bochner and Carolyn Ellis

More about the final preparation I am doing for my own two paper sessions (that I will present on Friday) tomorrow!

  • Washington Square Park just reopened. It looks spectacular! #
  • Working late again on my autoethnography research paper. I see the light at the end of a long tunnel. #
  • My colleague and I just opened our DNP course, Teaching and Learning in Advanced Practice Nursing, at Pace University. Welcome, students! #
  • Just got seated for the opera next year. They must ave had a lot of subscribers, as I did not get my first choice. #
