Mixed methods research (MMR) refers to research design and implementation that combines qualitative and quantitative data collection and/or analysis strategies. This seminar explores strategies for effectively designing, implementing, and integrating MMR. Through discussion of exemplars and theoretical frameworks, we will consider best practices for “mixing” methods and presenting integrated findings. Participants will gain practical skills for aligning methodological choices with research questions, implementing complementary qualitative and quantitative techniques, and articulating cohesive and rigorous mixed methods results.
