Pre-Conference Events:

On May 26 there will be at least three pre-conference language events: for Spanish, Japanese, Turkish-speaking scholars, pre-conference evens for Qualitative Health policy issues. Delegates need to check our website for developments with these special events.

The Qualitative Inquiry Special Interest Group of the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction will hold their sessions in conjunction with the 6th International Congress on May 28 and 29. The SSSI QualSiG will be co-sponsors of the Congress, and will share their program and keynote speaker with Congress participants. This joint conference is a wonderful opportunity for IAQI members to learn more about symbolic interactionism. It also presents an opportunity for symbolic interactionists to learn more about the IAQI community. To help make this joint meeting a success, delegates are invited to consult the call for papers in the Fall 2009 issue of SSSI Notes.
