Ivana Guglietti-Kelly Prize for Qualitative Research in Psychology
Donor: Family and Friends of Ivana Guglietti-Kelly
This prize has been established to honour Ivana
Guglietti-Kelly whose interest and work in qualitative methods led
to the first publication from the Department of Psychology at York
University to be included in The Journal of Phenomenological Psychology.
Each year both graduate and undergraduate students in any of the
departments of Psychology at York (Arts, Atkinson, Glendon, Graduate
Studies) will be invited to submit completed work in competition
for this prize. The work may be historical, theoretical, or empirical,
but will be distinguished by its focus on qualitative methods illuminating
psychological processes. There will be one graduate and one undergraduate
award.
