I@Q is over for another year! Thank you to all our students, invited speakers and guests, moderators, our audience, and our indefatigable planning team. There were 60 presenters and 227 conference registrants. We came together to share experiences and insights and, even though we were onscreen, we shared the intimacy of discourse in exploring new perspectives and ideas. Please see the 2022 Program for our amazing roster of speakers!

I@Q is more than a conference; it is an approach to learning where the teacher and the learner reside in the same person. It is a natural extension of a university that prides itself on the quality of undergraduate education and its scholarship and research. It is the signature learning experience at Queen's University.
In a world of ubiquitous and competing information, the ability to pose critical questions and forge a path to answer them has never been more important. Students who engage in inquiry projects are better able to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate information; develop discipline-specific research skills; persist and make intellectual and personal gains; demonstrate greater problem-solving and research skills; and are more satisfied with their overall educational experience.
