Qualitative & Interpretive Research Institute
I am very proud to have been the founding director of the Qualitative and Interpretive Research Institute (QuIRI – pronounced like query), as part of the Cornell Center for Social Sciences. QuIRI brings together social science faculty and researchers from around the campus who are teaching, employing, and developing qualitative research methods. Bringing together scholars from such disciplines as Anthropology, Communication, Development Sociology, Policy Analysis & Management, STS, Sociology, and City & Regional Planning, the Institute creates a space to support interpretive social scientists, to build community, and to share resources across Cornell.
The goals of QuIRI are to:
- Enhance the support for qualitative and interpretive social scientists at Cornell
- Increase the coordination and collaboration among Cornell faculty who teach, employ, and develop qualitative research methods
- Increase the visibility and awareness of qualitative methodological opportunities among the social sciences at Cornell
- Enhance the social science qualitative research methods training at Cornell
- Identify collaboration opportunities for qualitative researchers in other disciplines
- Enhance the external visibility of the strong qualitative research community at Cornell
