Inquiry in the Space Between: A Researcher’s Perspective Senior Researcher Award Acceptance Address

I’m honored to accept the Senior Researcher Award (SAR), humbled too, and immensely grateful for this recognition. To Carlos Abril, Chair of the Society for Research in Music Education (SRME), and other colleagues who wrote in support of the nomination, I offer deepfelt thanks. To the SRME Executive Committee and the National Executive Board of NAfME, thank you for bestowing this honor. Former and current colleagues at the two institutions where I have been fortunate to spend my career—the University of Maryland and the University of Michigan—you have supported and sustained me as a scholar, and I thank you. Graduate students have consistently inspired curiosities and enriched my perspective— to all I’ve had the privilege of sharing a seminar or guiding their studies, I’m ever so grateful.
