David Haskell has filled multiple roles over the past two years as a coordinator of the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry (http://icqi.org). The Congress, which boasts over 1000 participants from over 75 countries, continues to grow, as does the book and technology exhibit, which is comprised of several among the most prominent names in academic publishing and software development.
Particularly adept at multi-tasking and high pressure situations, David is broadly interested in positions in the arts (film, television, music, museum management) and entertainment. He is a fast learner, enjoys a challenge, and always looks forward to learning new skills and working on new projects.
