Kelly W. Guyotte, PhD

I am the inaugural Director of Faculty Development in the College of Education at The University of Alabama where I also serve as Associate Professor of Qualitative Research in the Department of Educational Studies in Psychology, Research Methods, and Counseling. Since 2015, I have also served as Co-Coordinator of the Qualitative Research Certificate Program. This program serves students from across the university by immersing them in a program of study intended to deepen their knowledge and practice of qualitative inquiry.

A graduate of  The University of Georgia, I completed my doctoral degree in May 2014 with a focus in Art/Art Education while also earning an Interdisciplinary Qualitative Research Certificate. Prior to this time, I worked in Georgia’s Gwinnett County Public Schools as a high school visual arts educator. My experiences in the arts have uniquely informed and inspired my research and teaching practices, drawing me toward topics  such  as STEAM​ education​, artful pedagogies, and artful inquiry practices.
