About ICQE
Building on the success of previous ICQEs, the Seventh International Conference on Quantitative Ethnography will bring together scholars seeking to meaningfully analyze complex processes in rich datasets from the perspective of quantitative ethnography. Our community is excited for the first conference in Mexico, which will be held at the world-renowned National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
The goal of ICQE is to foster a community of researchers interested in sharing methodological innovations and applied research using techniques such as Epistemic Network Analysis across increasingly diverse and interdisciplinary fields. ICQE is a space for new and established quantitative ethnographers to share ideas, resources, and inspiration.
