S. Elliot, No 4 of Four Quartets, 1942). May we begin with a moment of silence. We wish to acknowledge the land upon which we gather today. These lands were the traditional territory of a number of First Nations bands prior to European contact. The Miami, the Potawatomi, the Peoria and the Kickapoo were some of the last bands to be forcibly removed. These lands carry the memories and stories of resistance of these people, includ- ing their struggles for survival and identity in the face of overwhelming colonizing power. *** The University of Illinois, the College of Media, the International Center for Qualitative Inquiry, the Institute of Communications Research and the Depart- ment of Media and Cinema Studies welcome you to the Thirteenth International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry. There are over 1600 presentations involving 2150 people this year, including 300 panels in the general congress. More than 400 presentations were given in sessions organized by twelve special interest groups—SIGS in: Autoethnography, Arts-Based Research, Critical Poststructural Psychology, Critical Qualitative Research, Digital Tools in Qualitative Research, Forum of Critical Chinese Qualitative Research, Global Qualitative Health Research, Indigenous Inquiries Circle, Social Work, Spanish and Portuguese, Turkish, Social Work, and the Initiative for the Cooperation Across the Social Sciences and the Humanities. Over 1500 persons, from more than 75 nations have registered. Over 500 delegates took part in the 30 pre-conference work- shops. The theme of the 2017 Congress is “Qualitative Inquiry in the Public Sphere”. Critical qualitative research is under assault. These are troubled times. The global right is on the move. It is setting the agenda for public discourse on the social good. In so doing it is narrowing the spaces for civic discourse. A rein of fear is on the air. The 13th International Congress offers scholars the opportunity to resist this discourse, to experiment with different ways of being moral, politi- cal and ethical in the public sphere, to foreground, interrogate and invent new interpretive practices, to engage in a politics of advocacy, pro and con, to form coalitions, to experiment with new ways of resisting the pressures of neoliber- alism. The Congress will be an arena for advancing the causes of social justice, while addressing racial, ethnic, gender and environmental disparities in educa- tion, welfare and healthcare. Sessions will take up such topics as: ethical communication and the democratic process, models of truth and evidence, public and private engagement in the public sphere, tenure battles, redefinitions of the public university, preoccu- pations with neoliberal accountability, attacks on freedom of speech, threats to General information 5 shared governance, partisanship, protest, activism and political action, resis- tance, performance and dialogue in the public sphere, debates about the public good, uncivil discourse and the historical present. Scholars come to the Congress to resist, to celebrate community, to experiment with traditional and new methodologies, with new technologies of representa- tion. Together we seek to develop guidelines and exemplars concerning advocacy, inquiry and social justice concerns. We share a commitment to change the world, to engage in ethical work what makes a positive difference. As critical scholars our task is to bring the past and the future into the present, allowing us to engage realistic utopian pedagogies of hope. Scholars from around the world have accepted the challenge to gather together in common purpose to collectively imagine creative and critical responses to a global community in crisis. The Thirteenth International Congress offers us an opportunity to experiment, take risks, explore new presentational forms, share experiences, problems and hopes concerning the conduct of critical qualitative inquiry in this time of global uncertainty. In 2017 the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry (ICQI) enters its second decade. The first decade of the Congress capped a century and more of efforts by qualitative researchers to understand and transform our worlds through critical interpretive inquiry. The second decade charts a promising future. What might ICQI and QI look like at its 20th anniversary? What should the mandate be for the next decade? What have we learned? Where do we go next? As we move into the next decade we do so with a new generation of scholars, many of whom first came to the congress as graduate students, and who today hold faculty posi- tions, many with tenure. We share a commitment to change the world, to engage in ethical work that makes a positive difference. As critical scholars our task is to bring the past and the future into the present, allowing us to engage realistic utopian pedagogies of hope. Yours sincerely, Norman K.

We urge the immediate revocation of this executive order. It restricts the travel of immigrant and nonimmigrant visitors to the United States, thereby limiting the free flow of non-U.S. students and scholars into our institutions. It discourages international collaboration. Critical social science inquiry requires discourse and exchange with international scholars and students. There has never been a greater need for the free-flow of scholars and scholarship across national borders. The Congress is committed to the principles of academic freedom and to the free exchange of ideas, built on the principle of coming together as a global community, imagining and fighting for jus- tice and solidarity. Those of us living, laboring, and resisting this fascist turn in the Executive and Legislative branches of the US government need the support and close collaboration from allies everywhere. Boycotting academic conferences in the USA plays into this administration’s attack on knowledge, dissent, human rights, and movements of solidarity. We believe this type of boycott will only hurt the very cause of solidarity it intends to serve in its call. We understand that some people in our international community may feel unsafe to make the trip to the USA under these circum- stances. We understand that there are civility and economic risks in being denied entry. Yet we strongly encourage those who feel comfortable with the risks of border crossing to join us in May. We celebrate the courage of all scholars who stand in solidarity in this moment of global crisis. 5:30-6:30: Illini Room C: Plenary Performance: “ Holding On, Holding Out, Holding Fast Anne Harris and Stacy Holman Jones, Monash University Saturday May 20 12:00-1:00: Illini Room A Town Hall meeting: Collaborating sites Network 5:30-6:30: AWARD CEREMONIES Annual Meeting of the IAQI & Award Ceremony, Illini Union 200 Ballroom 7:00-9:00: COOKOUT Old-fashioned Midwest Cookout, 7–9 p.m., North Engineering Quad (across from the Illini Union, North
