CASEA Thomas B. Greenfield Dissertation Award
Submissions of Doctoral Dissertations in Educational Administration are invited for the award competition. The CASEA/ACAES Thomas B. Greenfield Award will be presented at the annual conference of the Canadian Society for the Study of Education.
The recipient will be invited to present a paper based on his or her research at the CASEA conference. Travel expenses will be covered, in part, by the association.
Criteria
Selection Criteria:
1.Significance of the research problem,
2.Conceptualization, design, and execution of the study,
3.Potential for theory development, further research, and improved practice, and
4.Relevance to the field of educational administration in Canada.
Eligibility
Eligibility requirements for the EdD or PhD degree in educational administration must have been completed during the academic year prior to the conference or the degree must have been awarded during that period by a Canadian university.
Submission Requirements
Normally the dissertation is submitted by the supervisor; however, there is nothing to prevent an individual submitting his/her own work. A departmental screening, if there is one, is simply to ensure that the department is willing to submit the dissertation under its name. PhD submissions are not limited to one per department; this is the case only with the Master’s award but not the Greenfield.
Submission of the entries: Applicants should submit one electronic copy of the dissertation together with a 2,500 to 3,000 word article (less references), giving an overview of the study to the chair of the dissertation award committee as well as a supporting letter from the student’s supervisor.
