Synopsis
This volume offers institutional researchers several examples of the ways in which quantitative and qualitative methods can be integrated for a better grasp of how members of our educational communities understand and experience their environments on the basis of their multiple identities.
The first two chapters provide context for the volume's theme with definitions and overview of the underpinnings of mixted methodology. Subsequent chapters illustrate the multiple ways in which qualitative and quantitative methods can be integrated to understand the complexity of identity and experiences of marginalized groups in the academy.
Other chapters focus on students' experiences and demonstrate how mixed-methodology approaches were used to
- explore college access among first-generation Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders
- analyze racial ideology of white males with interview data driving analysis of longitudinal dataset
- and research and accessment generating accurate understanding how of race and gender shape students' experiences within the campus
Volume editors Kimberly A Griffin, assistant professor of education policy studies at the Pennsylvania State University, and Samuel D. Museus, assistant professor of educational administration at University of Hawai?i Manoa, and contributing authors advocate for intersectionality research and argue that it holds great promise for advancing knowledge in higher education. Their book is ideal for institutions and institutional researchers who want to understand and most effectively serve their students and faculty.

From the Editors
This volume of New Directions for Institutional Research focuses on using mixed-methods approaches and intersectionality frameworks in higher education research. The authors draw on intersectionality as a foundational theory for framing questions and interpreting results and discuss the importance of using a variety of methods to get useful, deep, honest answers from college faculty and students. They provide several examples of how such broad perspectives enhance the quality of scholarly and institutional research on faculty experiences and relationships, the challenges faced by faculty of color, college access and equity, privilege in higher education, campus climate research and assessment, and multiracial college students? experiences.
