Dissertation Awards

As the call for dissertations for the 14th annual IIQM (international institute of qualitative methodology) dissertation award was made (they are due by October 31st - check out the IIQM website for more details),  I thought it was a good opportunity to remind people to check into these awards. Most organizations have dissertation awards each year, usually of little monetary value, but great career value! So they are definitely worth checking out. If anyone knows of any that people should be applying for please let me know so we can share the opportunity with the grad students.
