KAERA is pleased to launch a new Qualitative Inquiry Colloquium designed to support graduate students and early-career scholars in developing their identities as qualitative researchers.

Our inaugural speaker, Dr. Jeong-Hee Kim of Texas Tech University, will present “Narrative, Theory, and Becoming: Reflections on an Unforeseen Scholarly Journey,” sharing reflections on her intellectual and methodological journey as a qualitative researcher and on the theoretical and philosophical foundations that have shaped her scholarly work.

Dr. Kim is Interim Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, a Fulbright Scholar, and Professor of Curriculum Studies and Teacher Education at Texas Tech University. A distinguished scholar in qualitative and narrative inquiry, she is the author of the award-winning Understanding Narrative Inquiry (SAGE, 2016), a widely recognized contribution to the field. Her newest book, Theoretical and Philosophical Foundations of Social Inquiry: Who’s Afraid of Theory? (SAGE, 2026), explores the theoretical and philosophical foundations that shape social inquiry and research.
