Seventeen doctoral and master’s students as well as faculty from various countries attended this past week’s Q methodology workshop at Kent State University. A brief story about the workshop is on the website of Kent State’s College and Graduate School of Education, Health, and Human Services (click on http://www.ehhs.kent.edu/ and then on “Summer Course Highlight”). In addition to Kent State students and faculty, participants included scholars from Norway and the United Kingdom. One of the British participants was actually an Iranian studying in the UK, and Kent State students included those from Turkey and Bosnia-Herzegovia, making this the most diverse workshop of the past decade.
