Sarroub, Loukia K.; England, William R. – Journal of Ethnographic & Qualitative Research, 2020
Operationalizing space is challenging because the factors impacting education are often located at different scales. Combining Geographic Information Systems and ethnographic analyses allows researchers to conduct studies at both micro- and macro-scales, thus illuminating the connections between local and global phenomena. In our first case, we…
