Review Quotes:
This volume provides higher education scholars with valuable insight. Through their contributions, chapter authors challenge readers to seriously consider the many ways in which qualitative inquiry can enhance our collective understanding of inequities that are embedded in our institutions and how we can facilitate meaningful changes. This is an important contribution to our field.

This edited volume provides several perspectives on qualitative methodology and its application to educational policy. The chapter authors provide a unique methodological perspective because they focus on higher education and on policy and organizational contexts. This volume will greatly benefit classes on higher education policy and organization as well as a general methods course.
