Apologies for cross-posting Past, present and future: 25 years of CAQDAS 1st - 3rd May 2014, Horsley Park, Surrey, England 2nd Call for Papers http://www.surrey.ac.uk/sociology/study/daycourses/events/2013-2014/140501-CAQDAS2014.htm The use of computers to facilitate qualitative analysis is not new, with the first packages becoming commercially available from the mid- 1980s. 1989 saw the first ever conference on qualitative software, convened by Ray Lee, Nigel Gilbert and Nigel Fielding. This conference, 25 years later, presents the opportunity to reflect on where we have come from, where we are now, and where we are going in the field of Computer Assisted Qualitative Data AnalysiS (CAQDAS). Confirmed speakers include Dr Grant Blank<http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/people/?id=177> Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford, UK Professor Nigel Fielding<http://www2.surrey.ac.uk/sociology/people/nigel_fielding/> CAQDAS Networking Project, University of Surrey, UK Professor Simon Lindgren<http://www.umu.se/sok/english/staff-directory/view-person?uid=sili0001&guise=anst2> Department of Sociology, Umea University, Sweden Professor Clive Seale<http://www.brunel.ac.uk/sss/sociology/staff-profiles/professor-clive-seale> Department of Sociology, Brunel University, UK For more information see the website http://www.surrey.ac.uk/sociology/study/daycourses/events/2013-2014/140501-CAQDAS2014.htm Abstract submissions We invite abstract submissions for oral paper presentations and posters around the following themes: 1. The role of methods teaching in learning to use qualitative software 2. Software supported visual analysis 3. Big data, social media analysis, text mining 4. Software supported mixing of methods 5.

The focus is on the innovative use of software itself - i.e. for particular methodological approaches, types of data, project dynamics or representing findings; on ways in which CAQDAS packages are being taught; implications arising from developments in the field; or limitations of CAQDAS tools for particular approaches. Proposals will be reviewed by the programme committee and external advisors expert in the six themes of the conference. Reviewers are: - Jeanine Evers<http://www.eversresearch.nl/english/index.htm> Evers Research & Training, Den Haag, the Netherlands - Graham Gibbs<http://www.hud.ac.uk/ourstaff/profile/index.php?staffuid=shumgrg> Dept. of Behavioural and Social Sciences, University of Huddersfield, UK - Aine Humble<http://www.msvu.ca/en/home/programsdepartments/professionalstudies/familystudiesgerontology/facultyprofiles/ainehumble.aspx>, Family Studies and Gerontology, Mount St Vincent University, Halifax, Canada - Jennifer Patashnick<http://www.qdaservices.co.uk/2.html> Qualitative Data Analysis Services, Boston, US - Christina Silver<http://www.surrey.ac.uk/sociology/people/christina_silver/index.htm> CAQDAS Networking Project, Guildford, United Kingdom Conference proceedings It is the intention to publish proceedings of the conference.
