***NOTE: Deadline extended to Friday, March 10^th; MA students especially encouraged to apply!***

 

The Qualitative Research Specialty Group (QRSG) of the AAG invites submissions for a 2017 Graduate Student Paper Award. We will give out two awards - one for an MA student (at $250) and one for a PhD student (at $500). Students are encouraged to submit papers that include a significant engagement with qualitative research.

 

Papers might explore one or more of the following:

·  empirics: the significance of qualitative research findings,

·  methodology: the development of a particular qualitative methodology to fit research questions and purpose,

·  praxis: the relationship between qualitative methods and theory formation,

·  the politics of research practice and qualitative methods,

·  teaching and learning how to conduct qualitative research,

·  feminist, queer, and/or critical race interventions in qualitative research methodologies

 

Please submit papers of 5,000 words or less (excluding references) to Amy Piedalue ([log in to unmask]) no later than Friday, March 10th. Applications are restricted to student authors and otherwise unpublished work (papers written with faculty advisors will not be accepted). Papers written by multiple student authors may be submitted (understanding that the award would be split among all authors). Eligible papers should also be slated for presentation at AAG 2017 in Boston, or presented at another conference this year, such as a regional division of the AAG or Critical Geography conference.
