Reflections on Research Methodologies in Education

Students will explore the proposition that qualitative and quantitative methodologies, and the various methods they entail, can (and should) work in sync rather than be viewed as an epistemic, ontological, and axiological “divide.”

Students will be encouraged to take on a more thoughtful and reflective stance on the conduct of education research

Students will explore questions tapping into insights from both approaches as they are reflected in the social-behavioral sciences, philosophy, education, and interdisciplinary fields such as Indigenous Studies, Black Studies, Chicano/a/x Studies, Women and Gender Studies, etc
