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 Twelfth International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry. There are over 1600 presentations involving 2200 people this year, including 350 panels in the general congress alone. More than 300 presentations were given in twelve special interest groups—SIGS in: Autoethnography, Arts-Based Research, Critical Poststructural Psychology, Criti- cal 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 del- egates took part in the 30 pre-conference workshops. The theme of the 2016 Congress is “Qualitative Inquiry in Neoliberal Times”. Critical qualitative research is under assault. Qualitative scholars struggle to obtain tenure, their research is often underfunded, the journals they publish in are given low impact scores. Scholars around the world, inside and outside the academy, struggle against the regulatory practices of neoliberalism. The 12th International Congress offers scholars the opportunity to foreground, interrogate and resist these practices, to engage in a politics of advocacy, pro and con, to form coalitions, to engage in debate on how qualitative researchers can resist the pres- sures of neoliberalism. The Congress will be an arena for advancing the causes of social justice, while addressing racial, ethnic, gender and environmental dispari- ties in education, welfare and healthcare. Sessions will take up such topics as: tenure battles, redefinitions of the public university, preoccupations with neoliberal accountability metrics (journal impact factors, teaching evaluations, research funding scores), attacks on freedom of speech, threats to shared governance, the politics of advocacy, value-free inquiry, partisanship, the politics of evidence, alternatives to evidence-based models, pub- lic policy discourse, indigenous research ethics, decolonizing inquiry. General information 5 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 Twelfth 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 2016 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 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. Yours sincerely, Norman K.

In 2015, we held a town meeting in response to actions taken by the Administration at the University of Illinois regarding their decision about Professor Steven Salaita. Though the matter has been resolved legally, legal resolu- General information 7 tions often do not restore what becomes lost when there is a need to litigate. It is in this spirit, the need to heal and reestablish a confidence in the institution as a credible and ethical place of intellectual inquiry within the academy, that we feel the importance of ongoing discussion. Since its founding, ICQI has been a forum for critical conversations about the role of scholarship in advancing qualitative inquiry as a democratic practice. The tenets of freedom of speech and academic freedom are integral to these discus- sions. We stand by our mission to be leaders in fostering research and pedagogy that engages the pressing social issues of our time. Our university community has mobilized to support the tenets of academic freedom and intellectual integrity that form the DNA of higher education. 5:30-6:30: Illini Room C: Plenary Performance: “BLACK MAN/WHITE TOWER” Performer: Bryant Keith Alexander Other Friday Performances 1:00-2:20: Union 210 Recovering Notes on Aging: A Musical Performance Autoethnography of Surviv- ing Wisdom in 60s Songs William K.
