COVID and its ongoing aftermath has changed the social makeup and potentially hindered various collaboration and networking opportunities for graduate students interested in qualitative methods. In response, we collaboratively created the Graduate Student Qualitative Methods Network (GSQMN). The purpose of this international network is to create spaces for graduate students to engage in methodological discussions, collaborations, and peer and faculty mentoring across institutions. This network offers events where students can learn and share their qualitative research projects and methodological ideas. Graduate students’ experiences, questions, and interests form the primary element of this networking.
