Great to see a session on "imposter participants" in the #MedSoc24 programme. The QualSIG are in the throws of developing guidance around this issue. Gutted that it clashes with my own paper!

“Don’t introduce me - it doesn’t matter who I am unless I have something interesting to say…” great opening to our closing plenary from Tim Rapley! #NUQualSIG2025

Thank you to Tim Rapley for wrapping up the day with a very thought-provoking closing plenary - how do we think and experience with others and the social life of our research… what can we learn from this? Thank you Tim 🙏🏻

Inspiring day with QualSIG symposium. Summed up perfectly by Tim Rapley “slow things down and find the time to think with others, otherwise we just reproduce the mundane” #NuQualSig25

We've had a great day at the #NUQualSIG2025. We were inspired by the variety of innovative, creative and participatory approaches being used in qualitative research projects across the region.
