Summary
This chapter focuses on the complexities of systems and selves as they pertain to critical consciousness scholarship. By systems, we mean the multiple and intersecting systems of oppression that historically and currently operate in the United States and globally. By selves, we mean individuals’ understandings of themselves and their social locations. Our chapter in organized in three sections: (1) the complexity of systems, (2) the complexity of selves, and (3) the complexity of relationships between systems and selves. Within each section, we highlight several points about complexity, share some observations about how that complexity has been addressed within quantitative critical consciousness scholarship, and make practical recommendations for quantitative research specifically (and researchers across fields and methodological orientations more generally). We suggest that attending to these complexities will enhance scholarship and contribute to the knowledge base about how to promote socially just actions in different groups of young people and in different contexts.
