The NASPA Foundation Hardee Award—named after student affairs and higher education pioneer Dr. Melvene D. Hardee of Florida State University—honors the best emergent scholarship in the field as demonstrated through a completed dissertation, in addition to the mentorship that shapes these scholars and the passion of the newly minted doctoral degree. These are a few hallmarks of quality graduate education. Dr. Hardee, herself, was an advocate for graduate students and graduate education. In 1958, she helped form the Higher Education program at Florida State University, where she stayed the duration of her career, shepherding more than 100 students through the masters and doctoral degree process. In 1988, NASPA was fortunate enough to give Dr. Hardee the Robert H. Schaffer Award in recognition of her continued commitment to the professional growth of students. The student affairs and higher education community was fortunate to have such a strong advocate for the profession. For over 36 years, the NASPA Foundation has recognized scholars and administrators who have made their mark on the field. The honorees include associate or assistant vice presidents of Research-I institutions, former deans in private intuitions, chancellors, professors, assistant professors, and so on. Our NASPA Hardee honorees also work in community colleges, state education offices, and for university systems. They are a reminder that there is no one way to do student affairs work, but that our objective as scholars and practitioners remains the same: We all work towards the healthy social, emotional, and cognitive development of students.
The Dissertation of the Year committee reviews all submitted materials in great detail. The top 3-5 applicants are invited to submit a copy of the dissertation in full which is read and evaluated by the committee. The committee will select the winner and runner-up based on the top dissertations submitted.
Award Winner Will Receive
Certificate to be awarded at the NASPA Annual Conference.
Monetary award for future research from the NASPA Foundation .
Presentation of dissertation research in a workshop at the NASPA Conference; and
Consideration for publication in the Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice.

Dissertation Award
The RSA Dissertation Award is presented yearly to recognize an exemplary dissertation in the field of Rhetorical Studies completed by a student member of the Society.
SELECTION COMMITTEE
In consultation with the RSA President and the Chair of the Committee on Committees and no later than December of the year prior to the award date, the Awards Steering Committee (ASC) Chair identifies four RSA members to serve on the dissertation award selection committee.
Unless all ASC members have a conflict of interest, the Chair of the dissertation award selection committee will also be a member of the Awards Steering Committee.
The other three members of the ASC should reflect the diversity of rhetorical studies with regard to rank, institution type, and identity categories.
ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for the Dissertation Awards, a dissertation must…
Have been defended between January 1 and December 31 of the designated calendar year. For the 2025 Award, dissertations completed between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2025 are eligible.
Have been completed by a student member of the Society.
REVIEW PROCESS
Nominations are reviewed by the RSA Dissertation Award selection committee, a sub-committee of the Awards Steering Committee, which recommends winners to the Board for final approval.
When more than 15 dissertations are nominated for the Dissertation Award, the selection committee will conduct a first round review to identify semi-finalists for the award. In that review, the nominated dissertations are randomly divided into two groups. The dissertations in each group are read by two committee members. Those committee members identify approximately five semi-finalists from their list to forward to the full selection committee for review.
The full selection committee reviews the semi-finalists (or the entire list if fewer than 15 dissertations are nominated) to identify finalists and the award recipient.
In reviewing nominees for the Dissertation Award, the selection committee considers:
The dissertation’s contributions to rhetorical studies (e.g. expanding, synthesizing, correcting, and/or re-directing previous rhetorical scholarship).
Effective, generative use of methodological and/or analytical tools.
Engagement with primary and secondary texts: Here, we were thinking about demonstrating depth and breadth of knowledge of text and context.
Clear, accessible, engaging prose and style.
The dissertation’s contribution to the Society’s IDEA and/or social justice values through topic, content, citational choices, and/or framing.
Strong prospect for publication as a book and/or evidence of the project’s readiness to contribute to the field.
Deadline for nominations: January 24, 2025
Conflict of Interest for the Dissertation Award
No one who has served as a member of the dissertation committee for any nominee may sit on the Dissertation Award selection committee. Members of the selection committee who feel that they are unable to be impartial in judging any nominee must recuse themselves from discussion of that nominee.
Ratified by the RSA Board of Directors May 2004. Amended October 29, 2021.
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Each nomination must include:
A completed nomination form, including affirmation that the dissertation was defended during the eligibility period.
A letter of nomination written by the supervising professor, a member of the dissertation committee, or–with approval from the ASC chair–another person familiar with the dissertation.
An abstract of the dissertation no longer than one double-spaced page.
The complete dissertation as a pdf file absent identifying information regarding dissertation chairs.
A 35-page, double-spaced (12pt font) extract from a chapter of the dissertation, including all materials, e.g., references, charts, or images (the extract should be taken from one complete chapter, not a composite of multiple chapters).
Dissertations that depart from traditional written formats (e.g. multimodal projects, collaborative projects) are welcome. All nomination materials are to be submitted electronically to the chair of the selection committee.
Please contact the society’s Awards Committee with any outstanding questions about the nomination, submission, or selection processes.

Johnson Wins Dissertation of the Year
Johnson Wins Dissertation of the Year Award
Stevie Johnson was chosen to receive the 2019 Bobby Wright Dissertation of the Year Award through the Association for the Study of Higher Education. Johnson, who received his doctorate in adult and higher education in May 2019, wrote "Curriculum of the Mind: A Blackcrit, Narrative Inquiry, Hip-Hop Album on Anti-Blackness & Freedom for Black Male Collegians at Historically White Institutions."
This dissertation is a Hip-Hop album that explores how Black male collegians at historically white institutions theorize and disrupt anti-Blackness, in an effort to take flight or become free. You can hear the dissertation album at www.tspalbum.com/reviewers .
“Johnson’s co-created scholarship provides space for the Hip-Hop artists to develop their counterstories and his theorization of the work, as it relates to the tenets of higher education, carves out a new space for critical scholarship,” said Assistant Professor Derek Houston, who served as Johnson’s dissertation chair and nominator for the award. “His transformative work pushes the boundaries of higher education scholarship and provides not only a necessary critique of Hip-Hop scholarship, but also a call-to-action for the use of Hip-Hop scholarship as a cite of Black liberation.”

Named in memory of Irvin Lee “Bobby” Wright, the ASHE Dissertation of the Year award annually recognizes one or more exemplary dissertations in the field of higher education. Award criteria include the high quality of the methodology employed and the significance of the dissertation topic.
In addition to being recognized during the ASHE Awards Ceremony on Nov. 15 in Portland, Oregon, Johnson also delivered the Bobby Wright Dissertation of the Year Presentation on Nov. 14.

2) Full DiP title
3) A blind, 14-16-page double-spaced synopsis of the DiP submitted by the graduate. (The student’s name, university, and other identifying information should NOT be included in the synopsis.)

AAUW will accept applications from applicants who are temporarily studying remotely due to COVID-19 precautions at their institution.
Criteria for Selection and Application Review
The panel meets once a year to review applications for funding. Awards are based on the criteria outlined here. Recommendations by the panel are subject to final approval by AAUW. Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis according to funds available in a given fiscal year.
To ensure a fair review process, AAUW does not comment on the deliberations of its award panels. AAUW does not provide evaluations of applications.

Morgan Wallen leads the 2024 Country Music Association award noms, Beyoncé's ‘Cowboy Carter’ snubbed

NEW YORK (AP) — He had some help: Morgan Wallen tops the 2024 Country Music Association award nominations with seven.
For a third year in a row, Wallen is up for both the top prize — entertainer of the year — and the male vocalist categories.
Rounding out the entertainer of the year categories are Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Chris Stapleton and Lainey Wilson.
Post Malone’s massive radio hit, “I Had Some Help,” which features Wallen, is the main reason why the country singer leads the pack this year. It is up for single, song, musical event and music video of the year. His last nomination is a second one in the musical event category, for his collaboration with Eric Church, “Man Made a Bar.”
Single of the year is awarded to the artist, producer and mix engineers; song of the year is given to the songwriters.
Ahead of the nominations announcement, some fans speculated that Beyoncé, whose landmark country-and-then-some reclamation “Cowboy Carter” was released during the eligibility window, could receive a nomination at the 2024 CMAs. She did not.
Earlier this year, the album hit No. 1 on the Billboard country albums chart, making her the first Black woman to top the chart since its 1964 inception.
The album was five years in the making, a direct result of what Beyoncé has called “an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed … and it was very clear that I wasn’t,” most likely a reference to a 2016 CMAs performance that resulted in racist backlash.
The CMA Awards are nominated and voted on by members of the Country Music Association, which includes music executives, artists, publicists, songwriters and other industry professionals.
Wallen is followed by both Cody Johnson, who is also nominated in the male vocalist category for the third year in a row, and 7-time male vocalist of the year winner, Stapleton.
Stapleton and Johnson have five nominations each.
But Stapleton could take home seven trophies, should he sweep his categories.
Stapleton is both an artist and producer on “White Horse,” up for single of the year, and “Higher,” up for album of the year.
At the Country Music Awards, production credits are not counted as separate nominations, although they are factored into trophy counts.
First-time nominee Post Malone and Wilson, last year’s entertainer of the year winner, are tied with four nominations. All of Malone’s nominations are for “I Had Some Help.”
Louis Bell, Charlie Handsome and Hoskins are tied with three nominations for their work as producers and co-writers on “I Had Some Help.”
Jelly Roll, Combs, Kacey Musgraves and Megan Moroney also boast three nods each. The latter three could take home four trophies: Combs is both artist and producer on “Fathers & Sons,” up for album of the year. The same is true for Musgraves’ album “Deeper Well.”
And Moroney is both artist and director of her nominated music video, “I’m Not Pretty.”
The 2024 CMA Awards will air on Nov. 20 on ABC at 8 p.m. Eastern. It can be streamed the next day on Hulu.

UCL Geography Student Wins Joanna Stillwell Prize for Outstanding Dissertation
2 September 2024
XinTong Chen has won the RGS Population Geography Research Group’s Joanna Stillwell Prize for her undergraduate dissertation.
Supervised by Professor Johanna Waters , the research, “Negotiating home, belonging and national identity: Mainland Chinese Student Migrants’ Childhood Educational Experiences in Singapore,” explores how mainland Chinese student migrants navigate their sense of home, belonging, and national identity during their educational experiences in Singapore.
XinTong’s dissertation was inspired by Professor Waters’s inaugural lecture in 2022, where she discussed the impact of children's education on family migration strategies and the personal lives of young migrants.
The lecture not only introduced her to the study of student mobility but also highlighted the importance of including children’s perspectives in research.
The topic also resonated with XinTong, who migrated from China to Singapore at the age of seven. She explains, "My personal experience, being deeply connected to both societies yet not fully belonging to either, has made this topic particularly meaningful to me."
Through her dissertation, XinTong reflected on her own fluid understanding of home, belonging, and identity, which she describes as being both deeply embedded and occasionally uncomfortable due to her unique position of feeling neither truly Singaporean nor entirely mainland Chinese.
XinTong explained to us how winning the Joanna Stillwell Prize has been a significant experience. "It still feels quite surreal to have my research, which is so closely tied to my own life experiences, recognised in this way," she shares while thanking Professor Johanna Waters for her support and guidance.
One of the most surprising findings from the work was the realisation of the privileged position that Chinese student migrants hold within Singapore’s immigration system.
She notes, "As student migrants, we enjoy relatively secure residency status, which has given us a much greater capacity to develop a sense of home and belonging in the city-state compared to other types of migrants."
XinTong told us that she hopes her research will contribute to the field of population geography by bringing greater visibility to young student migrants’ transnational lives.
She observes that while themes of home, belonging, and national identity are common in migration research, there is often a lack of focus on student migrants, especially those who migrated during childhood.
She aims for her work to help fill this gap and ensure that the experiences of young student migrants are better understood.
Currently working as a geography teacher in a secondary school, XinTong will begin her teacher training at the Singapore National Institute of Education in December.
Her research has deepened her understanding of the challenges faced by student migrants, and she plans to use this knowledge to support migrant students in her future teaching career.
To incoming and prospective students, XinTong says: "Be kind to yourself and don't let self-doubt hold you back! Trust yourself, and when things become overwhelming, don’t hesitate to seek help."
XinTong Chen’s achievement is a remarkable start to the academic year, and we look forward to seeing the continued impact of her research in population geography and beyond.
Congratulations, XinTong, on this well-deserved recognition!
