About ICQE
Building on the success of previous ICQEs, the Sixth International Conference on Quantitative Ethnography will bring together scholars seeking to meaningfully analyze complex processes in rich datasets from the perspective of quantitative ethnography. The goal of ICQE is to foster a community of researchers interested in sharing methodological innovations and applied research using techniques such as Epistemic Network Analysis across increasingly diverse and interdisciplinary fields. ICQE is a space for new and established quantitative ethnographers to share ideas, resources, and inspiration.
ICQE 24
Since its first conference held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2019, the International Conference on Quantitative Ethnography has been steadily growing and maturing. This year’s submissions demonstrate how QE has been expanding in terms of methods, with many submissions leveraging Large Language Models and AI to enhance the computational elements of QE. We also see an expansion in the contexts where QE is being applied, as well as diverse theoretical developments by incorporating traditions of critical theory and indigenous perspectives. Most importantly, ICQE strives to remain a radically welcoming community, committed to rigorously engaging with the sciences and with each other to converge qualitative and quantitative traditions of science across various disciplines, including policies, education, and health care.
