“…Generalizability means a more complete picture of the nature of and sources of differences, which can better guide education decision makers and policymakers (Ercikan & Roth, 2006). It is not only quantitative researchers who think in these ways; many qualitative researchers also think that including comparison groups can address biases, enhance rigor and credibility of the findings (Lindsay, 2019; Morse, 2015), and increase the trustworthiness (Guba & Lincoln, 1989).…”

What does it mean to expand the epistemological terrain in education research to improve educational equity? This feature article attends to this question by opening a national conversation with education researchers who take up intersectionality in their study of Black women in higher education, specifically, the application of Kimberlé Crenshaw’s intersectionality dimensions—structural, political, and representational. We surveyed the authors of 23 peer-reviewed research studies that engaged intersectionality across Crenshaw’s dimensions. Findings showed that the majority of the studies were published in journals with low-impact factors. Additionally, authors indicated that they experienced pushback in the publishing process, including having to justify their work to journal editors and responding to reviewers who did not value their work. Implications are discussed.

“…As such, participants can be clearly divided into two groups, an "older group" (above 38 years old at the time of data collection) of six participants, and a "younger group" (below 38 years old) of ten participants in the interviews, and eight in the focus groups. The codebook for both groups is the same, and the comparison between them followed Lindsay's (2019) guidelines.…”

For people with intellectual disabilities who do not enter the labour market, school is usually the main chapter of their socialization with the wider society. Nevertheless, little is known about their long-term perceptions of this period. We conducted interviews and focus groups on the school experiences of 16 Portuguese adults with intellectual disabilities. Results show differences between older and younger participants in their accounts of social relations and educational methods, which result from changes in special educational policies in Portugal. Overall, members of both groups evaluate their school experience positively.Our results indicate that although there is a move towards more inclusive schools, discrimination is still prevalent. These results are discussed in terms of their psychosocial consequences, as well as their implications for educational policies, and inclusion. This study contributes to a better understanding of the school experiences of people with intellectual disabilities and how policies impact them. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Moreover, by comparing the practices in two countries with different health care systems and cultural backgrounds, with a multicultural research team, we were able to explore the characteristics of both countries that may not be easily recognized by examining one system in isolation [20,23]. Comparative studies of countries such as this would be useful in examining different methods and systems beyond existing systematic boundaries [27].…”

Background: To explore the perspectives and approaches of primary care physicians in Japan and the US on diagnosing dementia.Methods: Qualitative comparison conducted in ethnographic tradition using semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis. Primary care settings across Japan and in the Midwest State of Michigan, US. Participants were a total of 48 primary care physicians, 24 each from Japan and the US participated. Both groups contained a mixture of the practice area (rural/urban), gender, age, and years of experience as a primary care physician. Results: Participants in Japan and the US voiced similar approaches for making the diagnosis of dementia and held similar views about the desire benefits of diagnosing dementia. Differences were found in attitudes about the appropriate timing of formally diagnosing dementia. Japanese physicians tended to make a formal diagnosis when problems that would benefit from long-term care services emerged for family members. US physicians were more proactive in diagnosing dementia in the early stages by screening for dementia in health check-ups and promoting advance directives when the patients were still capable of decision-making. Views about appropriate timing of diagnostic testing for dementia in the two systems reflect what medical or nursing care services physicians can use to support dementia patients and caregivers.Conclusions: Testing to establish an early diagnosis of dementia by primary care physicians only partly relates to testing options available. Benefits of making the diagnosis included the need to activate the long-term care services in Japan and for early intervention and authoring advance directives in the US.
