Critical Approaches to the Study of Higher Education: A Practical Introduction

This compilation of excerpts focuses on critical approaches to higher education research and policy. Critical discourse analysis and critical race theory are highlighted as methods to expose power structures and inequalities within educational systems. The text explores the tensions between traditional research methodologies and critical perspectives, emphasizing the importance of incorporating participants' experiences and challenging dominant narratives. Several case studies are presented to illustrate the application of these critical frameworks to issues of equity, access, and the impact of neoliberal policies on higher education. The authors advocate for a more transformative paradigm that prioritizes social justice and challenges existing power dynamics.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Critical-Approaches-Study-Higher-Education/dp/1421416654?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=b71d9d3b5a96385877264027d7b21700&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by Podcai Studio:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
