For the final blogpost for 2020, I would like to celebrate the work of Dr. Maureen Flint. The American Education Research Association’s Qualitative Research SIG recently released a podcast episode of Qualitative Conversations in which Dr. Jennifer Wolgemuth (University of South Florida), who is chair of the QR SIG’s Outstanding Dissertation Award committee, interviewed Dr. Maureen Flint, the winner of the 2020 Outstanding Dissertation Award, about her dissertation, Methodological Orientations: College Student Navigations of Race and Place in Higher Education.

Dr. Flint’s dissertation also won the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry’s Outstanding Dissertation Award for 2020 (Experimental Category).
Dr. Flint graduated from the University of Alabama (UA). Her doctoral adviser was Dr. Kelly Guyotte, who is the Program Coordinator for Educational Research and Co-Coordinator of the Graduate Certificate in Qualitative Research in the Department of Educational Studies at the University of Alabama.
