Pinpointing persistence in computer science pipelines
Background and Context U.S. demand for computer science (CS) talent remains high, yet participation in CS education and jobs is uneven by gender and race/ethnicity. While traditional CS pathways dominate research on persistence, alternative pathways such as coding bootcamps and apprenticeship programs may address workforce demand and equity gaps. Yet, little is known about who persists in these pathways.Objectives This study investigates persiste…
Situating Critical Qualitative Educational Research
Critical qualitative research has evolved over time and is an invaluable tool in advancing education research and practice. Researchers who have conducted critical literature reviews—through either a systematic/scientific or a synthesis approach—have enriched the breadth and depth of our understanding of said population or topic. More important, their/our work strives to raise critical consciousness, pushes for social transformation, and disrupts…
Embracing playful criticality as a departure from the thoughtless university
This Point of Departure introduces the concept of playful criticality as a disruption of the ‘thoughtless university’ and its tendency toward hyper-compliance and the confinement of possibilities for imagining otherwise. In particular, we offer an orientation towards play and playfulness as a strategy for combating the commodification and cooptation of critical concepts in the academy. Playful criticality encourages educators to dream beyond the …

Removing the Veil of Whiteness in Qualitative Research Using Sista Circle Methodology
Research has a tradition of being extractive from marginalized communities, taking knowledge without regard to giving back. In this manuscript, we discuss how using culturally congruent methodologies, specifically sista circle methodology, mitigates the harm of whiteness rooted in qualitative research. Guided by Black feminist thought and endarkened feminist epistemology, we center Black women to offer guidance for qualitative researchers committ…
Feminist Collective Interpretation
Interpretation is a key aspect to any qualitative research process. Inherent in analysis, researchers must ask what informs interpretations and whose interpretations are accepted as reality. These questions call attention to power and its connection with interpretational practices, while some might argue that it would be impossible to render any interpretations that are data. In this article, we describe our own feminist, collective analytic inte…
Socializing doctoral students the feminist way
This paper highlights the perspective of five doctoral students’ socialization in a feminist focused research group. Utilizing collaborative ethnography, this paper challenges the current conceptions of graduate student socialization that emphasizes neoliberal values such as individualism and competition that is normalized within doctoral education. In this collaborative effort we highlight the lessons we learned and provide a critique of the nor…
Digital Migrating and Storyworlding with Women We Love
This contemporary feminist ethnography draws on in-depth ethnographically-anchored lifestory interviews with loved ones and uses digital media (such as ArcGIS) to expand the ethnographic collection around the globe. Members of the FRC conceived of the WomenWeLove Project as an opportunity for the lesser-told stories of six ordinary women from different places to take center stage. By digitizing the stories, researchers and participants are able t…
The within-group differences in LGBQ+ college students’ belongingness, institutional commitment, and outness
Although scholars have examined how lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ +) students perceive their collegiate environments, few quantitative studies disaggregate data to see how populations within the LGBQ + community experience certain outcomes. The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate how student subgroups within the LGBQ + community differed in their perceptions of belongingness, institutional commitment, and outness. Usin…
