These international conferences, held annually in South Africa since 1995, were initially styled as 'qualitative' methods conferences, but from the outset this was interpreted broadly to refer to any critical approach to the politics of knowledge.

Conferences have varied in the extent to which they have combined artistic performances and activism with more conventional presentations, but each has in one way or another moved beyond the usual academic boundaries. In addition to conference proceedings, two books, two special editions of journals and a CD have been published as a result of the conferences. We are in the process of making much of this material available online. Click on the conference titles above for more information.
