Genesis for Higher Education & Social Justice Policy from Qualitative Research
Joseph Martin Stevenson, PhD; Jeton McClinton, PhD
Abstract
The authors have developed a framework for applying the common levels of inquiries relative to the what, the why, the how, the where, and the when of qualitative research against the common forces that surround these inquiries in today's examination of higher education and social policy. The authors provide examples for approaching these levels and forces in higher education settings. However, the examples can be used as paragons for readers of IJSPE to consider in other social and educational settings outside higher education. The writer's conceptualization of the driving forces, counter forces, and restraining forces provide readers with possible rationale and alternative reasoning for societal circumstances and conditions in today's emerging divisiveness
