Positivist Approach

This article links comparative and international higher education research to ideas put forward in the 1817 pamphlet by Marc-Antoine Jullien, Esquisse, that is widely recognized as a foundational work for the field of comparative education, including providing its name. The paper describes how Jullien’s ideas in Esquisse are reflected in the contemporary work of the International Bureau of Education (IBE) and the UNESCO Institute of Statistics (UIS), including examples of comparative higher education tables analogous to those first described in Esquisse. The positivist approach advocated by Jullien is linked to contemporary research such as international rankings of higher education institutions (league tables) and surveys of the professoriate. It concludes with implications for future directions of comparative education research that are more “scientific” because they embed the increasingly sophisticated capacity for measurement and data collection within systematic conceptual frameworks as well as ever more rigorous quantitative and qualitative methodological techniques.

Media Mining

To add to the limited higher education research that seeks to explore the riches of social media as a space for data collection, this chapter provides an example for how to use social media mining in combination with critical theories as an exploratory tool. This study is designed to apply critical theories to social media mining techniques in order to examine how membership organizations have engaged in discourse around racial issues and social inequities in higher education. This chapter will examine how associations engage particular social media contexts for the purpose of influencing educational research and praxis and provide future directions for using social media to expose social injustices.

As immigrant students continue to enter the U.S. educational pipeline at growing rates, it has become increasingly important for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to understand these students’ pathways into and through college as well as the factors impacting their success. Using a systematic review, this analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of how global mobility shapes and is shaped by U.S. higher education, particularly in how immigrant identity and immigrants’ experiences are depicted in U.S. higher education scholarship.

University Settings

In this paper, I will illustrate the changing nature and complexity of faculty employment in college and university settings. I will use existing higher education research to describe changes in faculty demographics, the escalating demands placed on faculty in the work setting, and challenges that confront professors seeking tenure or administrative advancement. Boyer’s (1990) framework for bringing traditionally marginalized and neglected functions of teaching, service, and community engagement into scholarship is examined as a model for balancing not only teaching, research, and service, but also work with everyday life.

Changing Demographics

This article reviews recent research related to the study of college student retention, specifically examining research related to individual student demographic characteristics. The increasing diversity of undergraduate college students requires a new, thorough examination of those student variables previously understood to predict retention. The retention literature focuses on research conducted after 1990 and emphasizes the changing demographics in higher education. Research related to a relatively new variable —the merit-index—also is reviewed, revealing potentially promising, but currently mixed results.
