This book offers an introduction to critical and anti-oppressive quantitative research. Quantitative scholarship has often fallen short of the liberatory values of social work, education, public health, and related disciplines, reinforcing majority interests rather than challenging oppression. This book reimagines quantitative research practice and frameworks though the lens of critical and anti-oppressive theory. It provides practical coverage of the research lifecycle from formulating a research topic, to participant recruitment and voice, measurement, data analysis, and dissemination. It also tackles important questions related to the definition of and inclusion of specific and intersecting identities including gender and sexuality, race, disability, social class, and age. Ideal for upper-level undergraduate and graduate quantitative research methods courses, this book equips students with the practical and theoretical tools to pursue anti-oppressive research in social work and beyond.
