The call for nominations for the 2013 qualitative book award: This award will be conferred annually to a member of the qualitative and ethnographic community who has published the English-language book that best represents an important contribution to qualitative inquiry. This year ICQI is dedicating the 2013 qualitative book award to the memory of H. L. (Bud) Goodall, a charter member of the awards committee judges.

Eligible books should not be edited books, or anthologies. They should be single or co-authored. They will use and advance qualitative methods to investigate any topic or aspect of qualitative inquiry and may involve research reports, interpretations, and analyses.

The award will be presented at the annual meeting of the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry in May 2013.
