The broad goal of this special issue of Qualitative Inquiry is to demonstrate how critical qualitative inquiry (CQI) can facilitate the performance of justice-oriented public policy by conceptualizing movement beyond the logic of policy as prescription. The articles demonstrate the multiple possibilities generated through CQI for rethinking ethical...
This chapter reports on the evaluation of state and local level National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services in Health Care (aka CLAS Standards), specifically those standards addressing the health needs of sexual minority individuals, with an emphasis on the inclusion of bisexual+ communities and the implications of bis...
This editorial shares a conversation about qualitative and interpretive research quality between friends. Dr. Yvonna Lincoln, University Distinguished Professor Emerita at Texas A&M University, has been a pioneer in the field of qualitative and interpretive inquiry research. The purpose of this paper is to share Yvonna Lincoln’s contemporary thinki...
With seven cases drawn from both personal experience and informal interviews with colleagues from other research-intensive universities, we attempt to demonstrate the forms institutionalized discrimination and systemic oppression can take and if it is supported by policies or procedures encoded into an institution’s rules and regulations. We sugges...
On the Run has spurred public debates about the ethics of ethnography. The controversy surrounds the fact that the sociologist/ethnographer drove a participant who was armed with a gun and the intent to commit murder. Ethical concerns are not new to ethnography. A previous generation of sociologists and ethnographers faced similar dilemmas: Did tho...
The article introduces the special issue, “Ethnography and Public Scholarship: Ethical Obligations, Tensions, and Opportunities.” The editors begin with a discussion of Alice Goffman’s On the Run. The popularity and influence of Goffman’s ethnography, coupled with critique and controversy, represent the promise and peril of ethnography as public sc...
Shared understanding is often achieved in communication interactions at the point in which the participants come to an agreement upon meaning. Without shared meaning, misunderstandings can lead to a breakdown in communication, and possibly failure on collaborative tasks. The purpose of the present study was to examine how students, preservice, and...
This special issue of Qualitative Inquiry is dedicated to illustrating life history’s pertinence in the 21st century and to clarify its expediency
in the modern world. Our purpose is not to imply that life history needs a thorough reconceptualization to be cogent, have broad impact in the social sciences, and attract a broad readership. Instead, we...
New and revisited insights, theoretical developments, and the emanation of a new political landscape—coupled with the influence of new technologies and social media—suggest that life histories might be considerably more complicated to conduct today than a short generation ago. For example, at least three developments—the rise of a neoliberal, ultra...
STEM disciplinary language is a necessary component for STEM success. It can be developed through experiences and attention to the development of STEM activities that are rich in language and can be acquired through practical experiences and systematic practice. Secondary students participated in an informal STEM summer camp where they learned to u...
Critical qualitative scholarship offers humble grounds and many unforeseen possibilities to seek and promote justice, critical global engagement, and diverse epistemologies. This dialogical and interactive paper is based on a panel session at the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry that highlighted diverse areas of critical qualitative in...
Research on student veterans is in an infant state. As veterans continue to enroll in institutions of higher education, researchers must explore new ways of knowing student veterans. It is not enough to only describe and model this growing demographic, researchers must also have a tool for criticism and question. The next in an important tradition...
The purpose of the study was to explore the development of discourses that emerge as a result of inservice teachers being engaged in a richly situated technological task that incorporated geometric spatial sense development and the engineering design processes. Typically, learning has been approached as a discrete set of tasks to be mastered withou...

Teachers need to develop a variety of pedagogical strategies that can encourage precise and accurate communication - an extremely important 21st century skill. Precision with STEM oral language is essential. Emphasizing oral communication with precise language in combination with increased spatial skills with modeling can improve the chances of suc...
This study explored issues, paradoxes, concerns, and practices regarding issues of interpretation and translation in qualitative research, which concern scholars in cross-cultural/cross-language studies. This study focused on two stages of research work. In the first, a bilingual dissertation was rewritten as a play and installation, and performed...
Hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) are highly endangered in the eastern Pacific Ocean, yet their eggs continue to be an important subsistence resource for impoverished coastal residents in El Salvador. In this study, we use naturalistic inquiry to explain the realities experienced by coastal residents who share habitat with hawksbills in El...
Twenty middle grades students were interviewed to gain insights into their reasoning about problem-solving strategies using a Problem Solving Justification Scheme as our theoretical lens and the basis for our analysis. The scheme was modified from the work of Harel and Sowder (1998) making it more broadly applicable and accounting for research deve...
The globalized economy, fueled by late capitalism, has pressed forward its necessity for accumulation and expanding growth into the information and knowledge economy. One result has been the privatization of essentially public knowledge, knowledge produced at public universities, often with public, federal dollars. Both the "mania for ranking acade...
Public research universities are experiencing a major transformation today as they become more entrepreneurial and engage in academic capitalism (Bok, 2003; Slaughter & Rhoades, 2004). At the same time, faculty members in higher educational institutions are pushed to integrate educational technology into their teaching (Bennett & Bennett, 2003). Th...
Calls for accountability, long the focus of stewardship for public monies and public employment in institutions of higher education, have now exceeded their original purposes. The growing “managerialism” and corporatization of public universities had created an “audit culture,” one effect of which is to regulate the use of faculty time away from te...

Libraries are a key resource in maintaining research, funding and teaching capabilities of research extensive universities
today, but they rarely receive significant research attention, treated instead as a kind of “add-on” to other considerations.
Yet research libraries and their search and linking capabilities are changing the way in which facult...
Student affairs professionals benefit from understanding paradigms, worldviews, and ways of being among diverse faculty, staff, and students. It is challenging to understand core differences of paradigms, design student affairs practice and research in congruence with or across specific philosophies, and work effectively with individuals operating...
Tracking the history of qualitative research is to some extent a personal journey, reflective of the individual's own experience in the field. Many scholars participated in the ongoing dialogue around the shift from a solely positivist model of research to a multiple-models context. There still remain some philosophical and practical problems, arou...
Scholars new to the emotional intelligence (EI) literature will find that it is often confusing, with multiple proposals for what EI is, and how organizations should go about measuring it. Some major issues related to measurement are nominated and alternatives proposed for rethinking EI. Implications of these challenges and alternatives for HRD the...
The focus of this article is the conceptualization of a critical anticolonial social science that places ethics and concern for others at the forefront, while at the same time challenges the will to know others that so dominates social science research as construct. The authors propose that research examine and challenge social systems, support str...
This study considered the methodological implications of a qualitative study that involved two research practitioners as interviewers, one male and one female, who conducted semistructured cognitive interviews with middle school students. During the reading and analysis of interview transcriptions, differences were noted between the interviewers' i...
Many non-Western and non-English-speaking scholars express the need for supporting a methodological approach that foregrounds the voices of nationals and locals (or indigenous peoples). Supporting this stance, Western scholars will reach out in democratic and liberatory ways that effect research collaboration, helping to foster social justice and l...
This script comes from an edited transcript of a session titled “Talking and Thinking About Qualitative Research,” which was part of the 2006 International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry, held at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on May 4-6, 2006. This special session featured scholars informally responding to questions about their pe...
This chapter situates Guba and Lincoln's chapter within the broad philosophical debate about the justifiability of interpretations.
The emergence of a new paradigm of inquiry (naturalistic) has, unsurprisingly enough, led to a demand for rigorous criteria that meet traditional standards of inquiry. Two sets are suggested, one of which, the “trustwo...
The ethical conduct of research is addressed from two perspectives, as a regulatory enterprise that creates an illusion of ethical practice and as a philosophical concern for equity and the imposition of power within the conceptualization and practice of research itself. The authors discuss various contemporary positions that influence conceptualiz...
Utilizing Patterson's (1983) eight criteria for assessing theory in applied fields from a conventional (empirical-analytical) perspective, these criteria are evaluated and where applicable reconstructed from an interpretive (social constructivist) perspective of theory building research and assessment. Four additional criteria are proposed and desc...
Qualitative researchers have assumed that cross-cultural work required deep understanding of the culture being reported on. Even earlier, cross-cultural work focused on "receiving contexts," and on end-users who were primarily Western. The utility of such studies is severely limited, however, in a globalized world, and studies undertaken now must s...
We all construct our lives. That is, our lives are consciously and unconsciously created, enacted, by each of us, day by day,
fabricated from our hopes, dreams, beliefs, expectations, social interactions, reflections, daydreams, attitudes, values,
and, equally critically, our social locations. It is critical to know, recounting autobiographically m...
Aiming to begin research on the Carbon Dating of Indigenous Artifacts. With these findings, there is the hope of aiding in Reconciliation for the Constitution in strong standing with the First Nations People.
This study proposes to answer the question--What is and might be the present and future scenarios of higher education institutions in Mexico according to their leaders' perceptions? Special emphasis is placed on the differences between public and private institutions. The study emphasized that leaders of private and public universities in Mexico lo...
The emergence of a new paradigm of inquiry (naturalistic) has, unsurprisingly enough, led to a demand for rigorous criteria that meet traditional standards of inquiry. Two sets are suggested, one of which, the “trustworthiness” criteria, parallels conventional criteria, while the second, “authenticity” criteria, is implied directly by new paradigm...
Citizens concerned about the continuing presence in Iraq, or multiple domestic crises in the U.S., are tempted to resort to tactics and strategies which are hallmarks of American democratic life: letters to congressmen, letters to newspaper editors, and other “speak back” forums. As a way of “policing a crisis,” citizen action and letter-writing an...
Recent legislative and executive orders that mandate preferred methods for evaluating the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 signal a much larger movement in the social sciences. Attacks stemming from the “culture wars” of the 1990s have spread to forms of research labeled “unscientific,” including postmodern research and qualitative research. Examin...
Although it is not their intention, institutional review boards (IRBs) often impede the conduct of studies that are not conventional and/or experimental designs. As a consequence, studies that are qualitative, participatory action research, action research, postmodern, and/or critical theorist in orientation often undergo endless revisions as IRBs...
Years ago, while on a European trip, I met a former student of Pierre Bourdieu's-a bright, witty, and amusing fellow who'd studied in France with the great man. He recounted a story of how some of the most profound theoretical statements in postmodern times eventuated. He was sitting in on a conversation with Bourdieu and a half dozen of his collea...
This paper is a report on aconversation held between the authors andcentered on their shared interest inalternative methods of inquiry and evaluationin agriculture. The conversation was initiatedat the W. K. Kellogg Foundation and has evolvedthrough a series of long distanceconversations. Though not a verbatim transcriptof our conversations, this p...
At this workshop we wish to share our experiences gained from conducting the user-based assessment project known as LibQUAL+™ across libraries over the last four years. We believe that the development of LibQUAL+™ provides important lessons that are informing our development of a similar protocol for digital libraries, particularly from the perspec...
In a study of users’ perceptions of library service quality, interview data were used to restructure and reorient SERVQUAL, a widely employed survey administered to customers to determine quality of service rendered. When adapted to library users’ perceptions of service quality, the new instrument, LibQUAL™ was configured as a Web-based survey, and...
In the last issue of Qualitative Inquiry, we published a number of pieces from social scientists, health care professionals, and educational policy specialists, whom we had invited to share with us and with you, our readers, their own sense making related to the tragic events of September 11. We also asked them to comment, if they wished, on what t...
Ces articles refletent l'etat d'esprit de chercheurs en sciences sociales au lendemain des evenements du 11 septembre 2001. Les AA. livrent ici leurs sentiments et s'interrogent sur leur role de chercheur dans l'optique de la connaissance de l'autre et de l'aprehension du monde contemporain
Over the last decade, research and teaching activities have increasingly undergone review by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs). This paper presents seven case reports of research that has been regulated by IRBs, including examples from the contexts of funded projects, student research in dissertations, and qualitative methods research courses. The...
This investigation was conducted to explore contemporary critiques that challenge the growing body of scholarly research that would reveal and support diverse understandings of the world. Principal methods for this deconstruction of contemporary critiques include document analysis of writing that examines content and author location and context and...
Testimonio translates to "testimony," but utilizing this Western usage for the term can blind readers to the fact that the Spanish word does not necessarily bear the denotation of eyewitness as it does in non-Latin American settings. The contestation over I, Rigoberta Menchu - its factuality versus its narrative authority-demonstrates well the dist...
In our chapter in the first edition of this Handbook (see record
1994-98625-005), we presented two tables that summarized our positions, first, on the axiomatic nature of paradigms (the paradigms we considered at that time were positivism, postpositivism, critical theory, and constructivism, p. 109, Table 6.1); and second, on the issues we believe...
Higher education has faced a revolution as challenges to positivist science call into question the grounds for inquiry. The proposed paradigm shift included phenomenological and interpretive stances, and qualitative methods. Another revolution is on the horizon: a shift from interpretation to action, as faculty are challenged to facilitate liberato...
Although new-paradigm researchers often teach enlarged versions of ethics, they rarely, if ever, write about the ethics of teaching interpretivist inquiry. Five problems associated uniquely with the teaching of such inquiry are identified: (a) teacher modeling of a safe psychological classroom environment for students; (b) teaching students authent...
Despite the growing interest in participatory research forms and collaboration around community action, and social justice-oriented public service, academics in the U.S. are caught in a dilemma. While U.S. academics increasingly desire to work in community and participatory work, they face contradictions in the form of institution of higher educati...
Comments on Reba Page's methods of teaching about interpretive research methodologies. Points to four potential problems: (1) students have little knowledge of underlying epistemological debates; (2) students are unaware of broader "conversations" between texts; (3) students have read little qualitative research; and (4) students must learn to read...
Not only are the boundaries of interpretive research as yet undefined, but criteria for judging the quality of such research are even more fluid and emergent. Developing criteria are nominated and cautions in applying them are discussed. The author also suggests two critical insights: The most promising of these criteria are relational, and they ef...
The movement away from strictly conventional evaluation practices and toward new and more responsive models of inquiry seems inescapable when one ponders the future of evaluation. A more activist-oriented and more stakeholder-oriented model of evaluation seems to be the future of the field. (SLD)
From time to time, articles are published in EP that evoke comments from readers.In Responseis reserved for this dialogue. Contributions should be to the point, concise, and easy for readers to track to targeted articles. Comments may be positive or negative, but if the latter, then at least relatively nice! Please keep length of comments to minimu...
This article argues that shifting paradigms for health promotion research would result in a better fit between research intents and social and behavioral phenomena. Further, it argues that the constructivist paradigm exhibits great utility, power, and synergism with emerging concepts in health research. Such inquiry also provides for grounded theor...
Trends over the past 25 years calling for accreditation, program evaluation, and outcomes assessment for higher education institutions are briefly reviewed. The cooperative market model of institutional research and self-study is outlined, which involves cooperation among institutions, accrediting bodies, state departments of education, and state l...
In this paper, the authors outline how quality can be judged in “the typical product of alternative paradigm inquiry,” the case report. Their earlier work has focused on judging the quality of the inquiry process; this paper focuses on the product. They propose and discuss four criteria: resonance, rhetoric, empowerment, and applicability.
The authors argue that the metaphysical assumptions undergirding conventional (positivist) approaches to research provide a warrant both for deceptive research and for objectifying human research participants. They review the present status of ethical guidelines for inquiry and demonstrate how the realist ontological and objectivist epistemological...
Research on the assessment of naturalistic inquiries is reviewed, and criteria for assessment are outlined. Criteria reviewed include early foundational and non-foundational criteria, trustworthiness criteria, axiomatic criteria, rhetorical criteria, action criteria, and application/transferability criteria. Case studies that are reports of natural...

... To ensure the values of reciprocity, respect, equality, responsibility, survival and protection, and spirit and integrity (NHMRC, 2018) were part of the design of the study, the research study was conducted with the first accountability being to the Indigenous school community (Denzin et al., 2008). Reciprocity was central to the study, therefore the school had first access to research findings, and the results were disseminated to teachers in a timely manner throughout the study so that they could be used by teachers to tailor learning experiences for the benefit of the students. ...
... There are a host of problems facing education professionals, many of whom are overworked, underappreciated, and underpaid. The persistent adjunctification of higher education (Cawley, 2020;Ovetz, 2017) and deprofessionalization of K-12 education (Milner, 2013;Wronowski & Urick, 2021) delegitimize the professional status of educators and scholars at all levels, and we see stark inequities in how professionals are valued across disciplines and institutions (Higher Ed Jobs, 2020;Lincoln & Stanley, 2021;Pyke, 2011). These are serious, systemic problems that need to be solved. ...

... The research is foregrounded in a Post Structuralist paradigm as it allows a high degree of subjectivity, reflexivity and potential for an emancipatory, transformative educational research project (Jameson, 2012) with the researcher being an agent of the research process, bringing with them their personal characteristics, values and beliefs (Hammersley, 2013), and having the ability to exercise a nuanced and sensitive approach to deconstructing the dichotomies of gender and leadership discourses (Lincoln & Guba, 2013). ...

Se diseño una investigación mediante historias de vida por su capacidad para comprender profunda y detalladamente las diferentes dimensiones de un proceso social (Bassi Follari, 2014;Caetano & Nico, 2018;Dhunpath, 2000;Moriña, 2016), visibilizando a comunidades infrarrepresentadas, como las provenientes de los movimientos migratorios (Lincoln & Lanford, 2018). Se conformó una guía temática para las entrevistas y la investigadora principal consensuo los lugares siguiendo las preferencias de las participantes, por lo que algunas entrevistas se hicieron en presencia de amigas o hijas. ...
... We did this by engaging in an iterative line-by-line coding of our data to ensure the relevance of our BSP and to 'analytically convert' the recurrent phrases we found to fit into our categories (Bansal et al., 2018;Elliot, 2018). In the second stage, we embarked on what could be described as a cross-life-history analysis (Lanford et al., 2019) to compare and search for potential relationships among the initial categories we developed in stage one. We then systematically and iteratively probed the salient sayings and doings of participants across our data set to further categorize them based on their emerging thematic similarities. ...

... If sufficient knowledge is provided to the students, they will be engaged in developing the important twenty-first-century capabilities, such as problem solving, communication and collaboration (Krajcik & Delen, 2017). Except for all these reasons, Capraro et al. (2018) found that students collaborate in collaboration and obtain products using STEM disciplines. It is important that STEM disciplines are used in cooperation in this study. ...

... Similarly, it has been revealed in many studies that students have difficulty in explaining their solutions and ways of thinking (Karakoca, 2011). It is seen that the subject of justification is addressed in the literature in the form of "practical and mathematical explanations, the relationship of explanations with proof, explanations in terms of conceptual and operational aspects, and explanations as a cogent justification" (Hanna, 2000a;Hanna, 2000b;Yackel, 2001;Raman, 2002;Cai, 2003;Chick, 2003;Levenson, Tirosh & Tsamir, 2006;D'Amore & Pinilla, 2006;Türnüklü & Yeşildere, 2007;Hauk & Isom, 2009;Ball, Charalambous & Hill, 2011;Toluk Uçar, 2011;Matteson et al., 2012;Staples, Bartlo & Thanheiser, 2012;). The differing points of view can be listed as practical and mathematical explanations, the relationship between explanations and proving, conceptual and operational explanations, and explanations as cogent justifications. ...

... Here, a common critique centers around the marketization of higher education more broadly, including the turn toward treating students like consumers (Maringe & Gibbs 2008;Sauntson & Morrish, 2011). For instance, in a market-based zeitgeist, questions arise as to whether higher education programs are necessary or efficacious for students or are simply created to market a product to a potential student/consumer (Phillips & Lincoln, 2017). ...
