(Separate Fee Required) RMW-4: Mixed Methodology

The goals of this collaborative workshop on mixed methodologies are threefold: 1) introduce attendees to the epistemological questions and strengths/limitations of a variety of mixed methodological approaches to social science research data; 2) present and discuss two case studies of applied mixed methods in social work, honing in on the concept of integration of data sources; and 3) facilitate discussion of attendees plans / ideas for mixed methods research projects through a facilitated group process led by the workshop facilitators.

Attendees should have a basic understanding of qualitative and quantitative research methods and be conversant in mixed methods. While there is no expectation for previous training in mixed methods, a basic sense of the social work research methods will make the workshop more useful for attendees moving forward in their research careers.
