SOCIAL JUSTICE AND QUANTITATIVE METHODS
While there are many great quantitative methods resources, there is a lack of ones that focus specifically on issues of equity. The following resources promote the use of quantitative methods that are better suited for engaging in anti-racist and anti-sexist research than traditional quantitative methods.
StemEquity discusses and investigates the impacts of using particular quantitative methods in social justice research. Below we include topics that we have considered. As we create write ups about each, they will become links that include our rational for recommending a particular set of best practices.
