Dan Wulff

In my tenth year at the Faculty of Social Work I am focusing on ways that practitioners see themselves as researchers and ways that social workers can utilize nonviolence in their practices. I am part of a team developing ways to educate practitioners to embrace family therapy ideas into their diverse practices. As Coordinator of the Doctoral and Thesis Programs, I aim to facilitate graduate researchers in producing projects that embrace social justice.

Keynote Presentation

​We Make the Road by Walking: Learning and Teaching Qualitative Inquiry

Qualitative inquiry is a hands-on experience. In our plenary we will provide some highlights of our journey in coming to understand, and then to teaching, qualitative inquiry. The sights and sounds along the way are marked by practicalities and necessities, creativity and artistry, humor, the unanticipated, inventiveness, stretching, and integration. We hope to entertain you and offer generative possibilities for your growing (as a student and/or a teacher) within the consistently expanding field of qualitative inquiry.
