Editorial Introduction
This is the 2019 volume in the annual series Theory and Method in Higher Education Research, which we launched in 2013 in the belief that there was a need to provide a forum specifically for higher education researchers to discuss issues of theory and method. So far, we have published around 90 chapters.
This volume is fairly balanced in terms of the focus on theory and/or method, but with a slightly greater focus on theoretical issues. There is, however, a strong focus on qualitative research, with only one chapter (Liu and Borden) dealing with quantitative research, and another (Seyfried and Reith) with mixed methods research.
Amongst the chapters focusing primarily on theory, Brown et al. examine disability frameworks, Elken and Vukasovic consider loose coupling, Strydom and Fourie-Malherbe discuss pluralism in research, Taylor applies new material feminism, Tummons focuses on ethnography, Vukasovic examines governance stakeholders, and Walker applies phronesis to leadership research.
In terms of method and methodology, contributions consider selection bias (Liu and Borden), researching rhythms in the academy (Dakka and Smith), internet-mediated research (Dotta, Lopes and Leite), mixed methods (Seyfried and Reith), and critical whiteness approaches (Corces-Zimmerman and Guida).
The international nature of interest in theory and method is clear with authors being based in Belgium, Germany, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, the UK, and the US.
Anyone interested in contributing a chapter to a future volume is invited to get in touch with either, but preferably both, of the editors.
