Ross, Karen; Call-Cummings, Meagan – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2020
Across our combined 15 years of experience as methodologists and research methodology instructors, we have found that the concept of 'failure' is only a small portion of methodological literature and is similarly missing from scholarship on teaching and learning social science research methodology. We define failure in terms of our inability as…

Ferguson, Daniel E.; Nichols, T. Philip – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2021
In field-based research, masking practices, as well as the general practice of relegating historical context to abstracted 'site descriptions' in a paper's methodology section, can produce a tacit inattention to historical specificity. By juxtaposing two case studies of schools, this article examines the ways school sites are haunted by…
