11.033 - New Approaches to Critical and Comparative Case Study Methodologies

Session Type: Seminar

Abstract

Qualitative case study methodology has become the most widespread methodology in qualitative educational research, and yet the method can often be undertheorized and used in vague ways, without adequately distinguishing the case from the context or phenomenon. Presents will problematize some of the ways case study methods have been used and examine various approaches to conducting critical and comparative qualitative case studies.
We discuss lessons from prior work that yield new directions for qualitative case study research as students are getting their degrees.
