University presidents as policy entrepreneurs: Evidence from U.S. universities engaged in prestige behaviour
This article examines how university presidents who led their institutions to achieve Carnegie “R1 Highest Research Activity” managed policy tensions created by prestige priorities and worked with groups and coalitions internally and externally. Striving to achieve R1 status requires U.S. universities to re‐calibrate their focus, resources, and messaging both internally and externally. Using four elements of policy entrepreneurship (PE), the thre…
Critical Qualitative Inquiry: Examining the Influence of Changing Voices and Bodies on Legislative Spaces
Gender, race, and ethnic demographics have shifted and emergent policymakers are entering state legislatures. My work seeks to extend the role of critical qualitative research by examining emergent policymaking spaces and the new actors. I illustrate how praxis is witnessed in action in policymaking spaces to create change. I propose critical methodologies can be used as analytic anchors to offer an understanding on how progressive policymakers r…
You Can’t Be a Teacher and Not Follow Politics!”: Teacher-Legislators and Their Pathway to the State Capital
Few studies have examined the growing trend of teacher-legislators, specifically teachers’ trajectory to elected office. Drawing on qualitative data and raced-gendered frameworks, this article examines how three female teachers of color in one Southwest state leveraged their teaching experiences to shape their policy priorities and how they navigated policy and political environments. The teacher-legislators in this article created counter-narrat…
US Black women state legislators: Intersectional identities and education policies
Drawing on intersectionality and representational identity theory, this article centers Black women legislators’ collective and individual experiences to examine how their experiences shape their policy ways of knowing and education policy priorities. The women were guided by their own lived experiences of witnessing unequal educational opportunities of students of color and shaped a policy agenda that shifted the widely endorsed cultural norms a…
Keeping the Higher Education “Promise” in Nevada: Latina/o Legislators Policy Ways of Knowing
In this case study, I draw attention to key Nevada Latina/o legislators’ policy ways of knowing and their higher education policy priorities. A focus on the policy actors uncovered structural, racial, and cultural assumptions in policy-making often absent in the exclusive analysis of policy interventions. Their policy ways of knowing were shaped in at least three ways: acknowledging and naming the sources of structural inequities, embracing polit…
Science Diplomacy Policy Processes in Comparative Perspective: The Use of Scientific Cooperation Agreements in Canada, India, Norway, and the UK
An Examination of Higher Education Policy Problems Using Narrative Policy Analysis
Policy actors and coalitions use narratives to frame higher education policy problems and solutions. In this article, I illustrate how I employed narrative policy analysis (NPA) in practice to demonstrate how state policy actors and coalitions created policy storylines that offered social orientation, reassurance, or guidance for a stubborn higher education policy problem in one state. I begin the article with a review of NPA, followed by a discu…
