“…Researchers who conduct research using critical perspectives may engage quantitative and/or qualitative methods as needed to shed light on oppressive dynamics and encourage emancipatory social change (e.g., Fine, 2006). They tend to centralize varied theories of systemic oppression, using perspectives such as critical race theory (e.g., Bowleg et al, 2017), critical queer theory (e.g., Diamond, 2006), disability theory (e.g., Kafer, 2013), postcolonial theory (e.g., Gone, 2019), feminist approaches to sexuality (e.g., Tiefer, 2018), and Marxist theory (e.g., Roberts, 2014) to draw attention to varied and/or intersecting forms of societal power.…”
