This case study focuses on the challenges and possibilities that a transition from face-to-face to virtual interviews posed for the researchers. The focus of the research was to examine the experiences of African American and Latina college students in fitness with attention to the intersections of race and gender. The initial research plan…

This is a case study of a hearing-impaired researcher who was coparticipant in a study of learners with sensory and intellectual impairments in six European museums. The fieldwork for this project was based in London, Madrid, Oviedo (northern Spain), and Vienna, with partners and technological and university partners in Spain, Serbia, Austria, and…

In this case study I reflect on challenges and successes of building relationships with native people before and during my dissertation research. Obstacles encountered include switching from in person recruiting and interviews to online strategies because of the COVID-19 pandemic. I review strategies in building resilience into the research…

The Evaluating and Upscaling Telecollaborative Teacher Education (EVALUATE) project was a European policy experiment funded by Erasmus+ between 2017 and 2019.

In this paper, we examine the effects of receiving a modest Pell Grant on financial aid packages, labor supply while in school, and academic outcomes for community college students. Using administrative data from one state, we compare community college students just above and below the expected family contribution (EFC) cutoff for receiving a Pell…

This research stems from my doctoral studies where I was examining the differences between teaching and learning in classes of different size. The more I read about issues relating to class size, the more I started to notice that the student voice was almost completely absent from the research. Perhaps this was understandable, as the vast majority…

The case study presented considers the challenges and rewards of undertaking cross-cultural comparative research. Through discussing a mixed method project, there is an exploration of how it is important not to assume shared understandings of both research approaches and subject-specific terminology. Research approaches vary across countries and…

This case study discusses a multi-modal qualitative research that depicts the combined methods of online semi-structured written in-depth interviews, participant observation and visual methods. This project, which was out of a master's thesis, is a study of the abstract concept of cultural nationalism along with national and cultural identities…

Education for children with disabilities is an important and current topic on an international level.
