Higher Education Practitioners and Their Professional Ethics
This qualitative empirical article explores the ways that higher education professionals in the United States make sense of their professional ethics in relation to their role at the institution. It applies sensemaking theory as the theoretical framework to explore 65 professional ethics statements from a wide range of administrators with differing experiences and disciplines. Using qualitative content analysis as the methodology, this study deve…

What are the practices of unethical leaders? Exploring how teachers experience the “dark side” of administrative leadership
This article is one of the few empirical studies exploring the “dark side” of ethical leadership. Using Oplatka’s Irresponsible Leadership as an unethical leadership framework, the qualitative study explores how teachers conceptualize and experience unethical administrative leadership at their respective schools in the United States. This study found that amongst the unethical practices reported, they coalesced into six themes: absenteeism, indis…
How Academic Community and an Ethic of Care Can Shape Adjunct Work Environments
Shaping Discourse Through Social Media
This article offers Foucauldian discourse analysis (FDA) as an innovative qualitative methodology to apply to the intersection of social media and public policy research. The article has two sections. The first section briefly defines FDA and discourse and situates the methodology in the educational policy research literature. The second section applies FDA to a narrative about the Common Core State Standards as it occurred on Twitter, with an ex…
Year One Results From the Multisite Randomized Evaluation of the i3 Scale-Up of Reading Recovery
Reading Recovery (RR) is a short-term, one-to-one intervention designed to help the lowest achieving readers in first grade. This article presents first-year results from the multisite randomized controlled trial (RCT) and implementation study under the $55 million Investing in Innovation (i3) Scale-Up Project. For the 2011–2012 school year, the estimated standardized effect of RR on students’ Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS) Total Reading Score…
Institutionalizing Equitable Policies and Practices for Contingent Faculty
This study is a qualitative inquiry into the institutionalization of equitable policies for non-tenure-track faculty. Through the theoretical framework of institutionalization, we examine factors and strategies forwarding various policies and practices and the challenges that arise. The results highlight themes throughout the stages of mobilization, implementation, and institutionalization
Activity Theory and Qualitative Research in Digital Domains
Understanding the interactions between people, computer-mediated communication, and online life requires that researchers appropriate a set of methodological tools that would be best suited for capturing and analyzing the phenomenon. However, these tools are not limited to relevant technological forms of data collections and analysis programs; it also includes relevant theoretical frameworks for researchers to use when studying these interactions…
Understanding Non-Tenure Track Faculty
This article examines the underlying assumptions brought to bear on studies of non-tenure track faculty. The authors examine the deficit views that characterize non-tenure track as other than professional. Furthermore, they explore and challenge theories brought to bear to currently understand this population and suggest other theories that may better explain research outcomes. Finally, they note the importance of grounded theories that develop o…
