What makes some questions possible and others difficult to ask? Join us for a conversation about critical qualitative inquiry and how the conditions and relationships through which we live, learn, and work shape the questions we ask and the knowledge we produce.
Professor Rupaleem Bhuyan, DLSPH’s new Eakin-Hoffmann Chair in Critical Qualitative Health Research, will explore why advancing inquiry is not simply about developing new research methods, but about cultivating the conditions for curiosity, dialogue, and different ways of knowing—and for asking questions that may lie just beyond what we currently imagine to be possible.
Following the talk, Ala Refai and CQ Fellow Izumi Sakamoto will join as animatrices to share reflections on how their own learning has shifted the questions they ask and how they approach their research, and to pose questions that spark dialogue with the audience.
Date: September 17, 2026
Time: 6pm – 7.30pm ET
Venue: The Faculty Club, 41 Wilcocks St, Toronto ON M5S 3G3
