The Good(all) Effect refers to the groundbreaking and influential work of H. L. “Bud” Goodall, Jr., and its continuing and rippling effects in qualitative studies and the discipline of Communication Studies following his death. In this tribute piece, one of his protegees writes a narrative reflection of their professional relationship and reflects on how his work and words inspire her own. She also considers ways to honor her mentor by forwarding his goals for narrative ethnography into the 21st century.
