Lifetime Achievement Award

ICQI Call for Achievement Awards Nominations

The International Congress for Qualitative Inquiry is pleased to announce the call for nominations for the upcoming year’s Achievement Awards.

Lifetime Achievement in Qualitative Inquiry
The Lifetime Achievement Award is conferred annually to a member of the qualitative community for lifetime contributions to the methods, theory, practice, and dissemination of qualitative inquiry.

The award will be presented at the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry Conference in May. The recipient will be notified no later than March 1 and is strongly encouraged to attend the Congress for the formal presentation of the award.

Nominators should send a letter outlining the nominee’s qualifications for the award by e-mail no later than January 15. Include a curriculum vitae for the nominee, if available. Because a lifetime of achievement does not diminish from one year to the next, those nominated for this award will automatically be considered for 5 years from the year of nomination. A list of the people already under consideration is available at https://icqi.org/lifetimeaward.htmlThere is no need to resubmit nominations from previous years, though anyone wishing to supplement an existing nomination or write an additional letter of support is encouraged to do so by the deadline.
