Abstract
This essay is based on a paper delivered in 2014 as part of a panel celebrating the 10th anniversary of the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry (ICQI) and discussing critical pedagogy and qualitative research methods oriented toward social transformation. In this essay, I briefly examine the history of social work and its relationship to inquiry and pedagogy, my own academic biography, and the twinning of two scholarly initiatives, ICQI and the journal Qualitative Social Work: Research and Practice. I argue that the individual transformations and networks that have been nurtured in a decade of ICQI gatherings—taken as a collective whole—offer an exemplar of social transformation grounded in critical pedagogy and qualitative research methods.
