Publishing Qualitative PER

PERLOC Event
October 30, 2025 in Virtual

The "Publishing Qualitative PER" community conversation will occur on Thursday, October 30th at 6pm Eastern.

What is unique in publishing qualitative research for physicists versus for more general education audiences? How can I craft my paper so that physicists, physics education researchers, and education audiences find it accessible and informative? In this session we will explore qualitative research methodologies and discuss nuanced differences in research traditions and publication venues.

This event is being organized by PERLOC and led by Valerie Otero of the University of Colorado, Boulder, School of Education.

Zoom information is available on AAPT Communities.
