Each month, we host the School of Education Research Speakers Series. These talks will highlight one of our esteemed colleagues as they share insights from a recent publication or other scholarly product and how their work informs practice and policy.

As a seasoned qualitative researcher and editor of the International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE) for over three decades, Dr. Scheurich will be discussing two key issues in critical qualitative research during his upcoming AERA Guba lecture this April.

Firstly, he will address concerns regarding coding. He questions the validity of our coding assumptions from an epistemological standpoint, highlighting its ties to colonialism within qualitative research.

Secondly, he will highlight the insufficient understanding of white supremacy and systemic racism in qualitative research, particularly within critical qualitative studies. Dr. Scheurich will emphasize the need for a deeper comprehension of the pervasive nature of U.S. white supremacy and systemic racism and suggest ways to address this gap.
