What is a dialogical symposium?
A dialogical symposium moves beyond one-way presentations toward meaningful, participatory exchange. Expect:
Facilitated group discussions and workshops instead of paper presentations
Cross-disciplinary conversations among scholars, practitioners, and policymakers
Co-creation of ideas, insights, and future research opportunities
Space for collaborative outputs, including potential publications
Who Should Attend?
We welcome a diverse range of participants, including:
Academics and researchers using (or curious about) Q Methodology
Practitioners and policymakers applying Q insights in real-world settings
Postgraduate and early-career researchers seeking connection and mentorship
Interdisciplinary thinkers exploring how Q connects with other methods
Possible Outcomes
Fresh directions and innovations for Q Methodology
New research networks and collaborative opportunities
Strategies for applying Q to social and community challenges
Opportunities for co-authored papers or special issue submissions
The final program will be available in September/October 2025
