xv, 121 p. ; 23 cm, This monograph seeks to foster a dialogue on the future of qualitative inquiry for equity in higher education. Beginning with the premise that equity is of paramount concern in the study of higher education, the text explores the promise and pitfalls of qualitative inquiry with respect to addressing issues of in/equity and fostering social change at micro, meso, and macro levels. Building upon five years of thought experiments and dialogic inquiry projects on the status of contemporary qualitative higher education scholarship, the authors advance a critique of the reductive and generic conceptions of qualitative research that dominates the field of higher education and call upon higher education scholars to examine the transformative potential embedded within critical qualitative inquiry. In addition to exploring the opportunities and tensions associated with engaging in critical qualitative inquiry, this monograph issues a call to action through intervention, describing numerous opportunities and strategies for challenging and resisting oppressive research norms that undermine the equity aims of higher education research, Includes bibliographical references (p. 93-108) and indexes, Qualitative Inquiry for Equity in Higher Education.
