What upcoming events and training programs does ResearchTalk host?

Updated

ResearchTalk runs three named professional-development events for qualitative researchers: the 24th Annual Qualitative Research Summer Intensive (QRSI 2027), the Fall Qualitative Inquiry Seminars (October 5–November 6, 2026), and the Qualitative Writing Camp (December 1–4, 2026). All three are listed on the organization's Upcoming Events page, and the site directs anyone who wants schedule updates to email [email protected] to join the mailing list.

QRSI 2027 — 24th Annual Qualitative Research Summer Intensive

  • Dates: July 26–30 and August 4–6, 2027
  • Format: Co-hosted by ResearchTalk in partnership with UNC's Odum Institute for Research in Social Science
  • Status: Details for QRSI 2027 will be available in late 2026
  • How to get notified: Email [email protected] to join the mailing list for updates

The two date blocks are separated by a gap (July 31–August 3), so if you are planning travel or a multi-course schedule, treat the program as two sessions rather than one continuous week.

Fall Qualitative Inquiry Seminars 2026

  • Dates: October 5 – November 6, 2026
  • Format: Exclusively online
  • Scope: 4 courses offered by ResearchTalk's qualitative scholar team

Because the seminars run across roughly a month, this format suits researchers who want to spread coursework around other commitments rather than attend an intensive block.

Qualitative Writing Camp 2026

  • Dates: December 1–4, 2026
  • Format: 3.5-day online camp
  • Focus: A team of qualitative inquiry mentors introduces strategies for composing authentic, impactful, and relevant data-based articles, books, chapters, reports, and presentations

This is the event to consider if your goal is producing written output from data you already have, rather than learning new methods.

How to stay updated

The site does not publish registration links or pricing for these events in the material available. The stated path to updates is to email [email protected] and ask to join the mailing list. QRSI 2027 details in particular are not expected until late 2026, so joining the list is the reliable way to catch the schedule when it opens.
