  • Summary

    Critical consciousness (CC) theory emphasizes a form of reflection on social, political, and economic conditions that analyzes the historical root causes of inequity and the ways these inequities are systemically perpetuated and magnified through laws, policies, and institutions. Despite the theoretical centrality of structural and historical thinking in CC, most empirical work on the topic has not incorporated these constructs into measures of critical reflection. The current chapter explores the rationale for measuring structural and historical thinking in critical reflection and considers challenges to doing so. We present factor analytic work showing how new measures of structural and historical attributions can be incorporated into existing measurement of critical reflection. We discuss strengths and weaknesses of this approach and explore the implications of this expanded measure.
