Language. Culture. Matters: Applied Linguistics Seminar

I will be giving a talk titled ‘The Potential of Q Methodology in Applied Linguistics through a Humanistic Lens,’ which draws on my experience using the Q.

Abstract
In recent years, Q methodology (Q) has become increasingly popular in applied linguistics and language education. Its growing use has also faced criticisms regarding its procedural rigor and ability to capture nuanced human subjectivity. These debates highlight the need for careful consideration of both Q's strengths and limitations. In this talk, I will discuss the potential of Q in applied linguistics. Building on traditional approaches, I will present a slightly modified version that enhances sensitivity to the diverse subjectivities of participants. This refinement preserves the core structure of Q while enabling a more humanistic exploration of participants' experiences, beliefs, and identities.

ℹ️ This is a hybrid session on Wednesday, 25 February, held in A0.23 (Social Sciences Building, University of Warwick) and on Microsoft Teams.
