A review of critical race mixed methodology in education: current trends and future directions

Abstract

Critical race mixed methodology (CRMM), which combines critical race theory (CRT) with mixed methods research, is an emerging approach in education research. As an extension of CRT’s qualitative traditions and the newer quantitative CRT research movement, CRMM offers a comprehensive framework for examining racial inequities. This article explores the emergence of CRMM, reviewing its application in education research. We also discuss the challenges associated with CRMM, including methodological complexity and institutional resistance, while highlighting opportunities for its growth and broader application beyond education.
