Description
Summary:In October 2019, the 4th World Conference on Qualitative Research (WCQR) brought together scholars from different parts of the world in Porto, Portugal. That conference provided an international platform upon which scholars initiated conversations regarding practices and challenges in qualitative research, in both academic and corporate contexts. These conversations concerned practices and challenges that on methodological rigor and ethical practices, with the overall aim for holistic integration and excellent qualitative research. WCQR has also allowed the forming of an international and diverse community of qualitative researchers, that annually come together to discuss experiences, trends and ongoing and future projects. This community remains active between editions, conducting collaborative research, training (namely at a distance), and publishing together. It is a movement that will continue to evolve. This book is also a way of congregating and giving voice to this community.
