Editorial Introduction
This is the 2021 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.
The contributions in this volume lean more towards theory than method. Thus, we have Jogie discussing the application of, and responses to, critical race theory; Torres-Purroy and Mas-Alcolea examining the use of communities of practice theory; Wilmot and McKenna exploring the popularity of Legitimation Code Theory in the South African context; Dusdal, Zapp, Marques and Powell linking institutional and relational theory for the analysis of higher education organizations; and Smith, Wofford, Friedensen, Stanfield and Jackson considering the complexity of applying theory in higher education research.
More methodological contributions include those of Hauke on participant ethnography; Mas-Alcolea and Torres-Purroy on the benefits of combining shadowing with narrative interviewing; and O'Dea evaluating the use of portrait methodology. Taking a quantitative perspective, Litson and Feldon stress the importance of measurement invariance in research.
Combining elements of theory and method, Arnold, Badenhorst and Hoben discuss decolonization using indigenous principles.
As in previous years, the volume displays an international authorship, with contributions from Canada, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, the UK and the USA.
Anyone interested in contributing a chapter to a future volume is invited to get in touch with either, but preferably both, of the editors.
