IQMR 2025

Weekend Workshops

Eggers 341, Maxwell School

Syracuse University

We look forward to seeing you in June!

Please recall that both the “Advances” workshop and the “Emerging Methodologists Workshop” are “pre-read” workshops. Participants should be familiar with all of the work being presented at their workshop.

Please contact Diana Kapiszewski (dk784@georgetown.edu) or Sebastian Karcher (skarcher@syr.edu) for questions about workshop substance, and Christian Pagé (cmpage@syr.edu, Associate Director, Center for Qualitative and Multi-Method Inquiry) with questions about workshop logistics.

Overall Schedule

Travel to and from Syracuse

Travel to and from Syracuse for one author per paper/presentation is paid for by IQMR. (Co-authors are welcome to join the workshop via Zoom.) We ask that workshop participants book their own economy-class round-trip ticket to and from Syracuse.

Travel must be commensurate with the terms set forth in the University’s travel policy.

Hotel in Syracuse

Lodging in Syracuse for one author per paper/presentation is paid for by IQMR. We will make reservations for you at the Collegian Hotel, located at 1060 E Genesee St, Syracuse, New York 13210. We will plan for you to arrive the night prior to, and to depart the day after, the day on which you will participate in the workshop.

Reimbursements

We will reimburse you for your plane ticket to and from Syracuse and ground transportation to and from the airports you use.

If you drive to Syracuse, IQMR will reimburse your roundtrip mileage from your home to Syracuse at the mileage rate then in force at Syracuse University. Parking is free at the hotel.

We will provide all meals during the workshop day(s) and so will not reimburse for meal expenses.

We will request that you complete a tax form while you are in Syracuse which we will need in order to process your reimbursement. We will also ask you to upload a single PDF with all electronic receipts at the end of your trip; we will provide the link in subsequent correspondence.

We will aim to transmit your reimbursement to you within two months after the workshop. Please note that time frames for processing reimbursements can vary.
