International Congress for Qualitative Research & Theory Methodologies

The Institute for Research and Theory Methodologies (RTM) and CQ University Australia have pioneered a unique and innovative twist for the ic-QRTM. Rather than one event, ic-QRTM is a month-long event where participants get to learn more about qualitative research for free from researchers around the world. 



The fun begins October 2, 2025 at 9 am PT with a Keynote presentation "From Participation to Emancipation: Reimagining Qualitative Research as Relational Praxis" by Dr. Kate McAlpine. 

All of the Congress sessions will go live on RTM's YouTube page on October 3, 2025.

Throughout the month you can watch the sessions on YouTube and vote for your favorite presentation. There are two ways to vote: give a "thumbs up" on YouTube and vote HERE.

On October 13 at 4 pm PT, we will host a live virtual discussion panel on this year's theme "Listening, Learning, and Leading Change Through Qualitative Research." Come join the discussion.

The fun will wrap up with a live virtual Question & Answer Session on November 6, 2025 at 4 pm PT. Presenter Awards will be announced at this event.
