Critical histories can be applied to policies, practices, or institutions (among other phenomena). They can be constructed from archival and textual data, and/or from microhistories (a focus on a single person or place). Critical histories require the researcher to apply a critical theoretical framework (such as CRT, feminism, critical democracy, etc.) to analyze the data collected.
Examples:
Gilroy, P. & McNamara, O. (2009). A critical history of research assessment in the UK and its post-1992 impact on education. Journal of Education for Teaching: International Research and Pedagogy, 35(4), 321-335.
Reid, D.K. & Knight, M.G. (2006). Disability justifies exclusion of minority students: A critical history grounded in disability studies. Educational Researcher, 35(6), 18-23.
