Which Universities are people familiar with that have either a focus on or a strong respect for QUALITATIVE research?

 * I know that Rutgers has hired a few really strong qualitative researchers in the past couple of years
 * There has been a call for increased qualitative methodology by several big funders (including NIH), so I would say it is likely that a good qualitative researcher would be appreciated many places, even if they don't currently have a strong qualitative focus/respect
