Abstract
Are you currently teaching or advising graduate students from a variety of fields who are embarking on their qualitative dissertation? In this presentation, a recent Ph.D. graduate in Educational Psychology with a certificate in Interdisciplinary Qualitative Studies will share how she bridged three different fields of study (Educational Psychology, Counseling Education, and Qualitative Research) to write a three-article dissertation that prioritized qualitative methodology. Offering reflexive tales of her design and writing processes, Kate will present breakthrough strategies that helped push methodological boundaries and challenge traditional approaches. These include ways she used integral concepts of qualitative methodology within the Introduction and Conclusion chapters to relate three research articles, each with unique research questions and designs. Specific qualitative research resources, texts, and articles that provided crucial support as an emerging qualitative scholar will be shared. Lessons learned from her experience are beneficial to teachers of graduate qualitative research courses, Ph.D. advisors and committee members, and current graduate students on their dissertation journeys.
