About this course

The course covers a wide array of theoretical and methodological approaches to mixed methods research inquiry. The course aims to provide a problem-centered perspective on mixed methods research that starts with the research problem. It aims to create a research design that connects well to the research problem and allows the researcher to adjust their research problem over time. The course offers a hands-on approach designed to assist you with planning your own problem-centered mixed methods research project and reviewing and critiquing a specific research area you are working on that uses a mixed methods approach. This course is a graduate-level research seminar that meets for 2.5 hours once a week. Students can work on their own mixed methods research proposals or manuscripts during class time. We will have dedicated sessions for peer review and feedback on your ongoing work.Students may bring either a new research proposal they would like to start or an ongoing project they are already working on. The course welcomes projects at various stages of development, from initial concepts to works-in-progress manuscripts.Note: Students working on mixed-methods projects may have publication opportunities. I will provide more details on this opportunity for students enrolling in this class.This course suits graduate-level students in sociology, nursing, and other related disciplines. Enrollment is limited to allow for in-depth discussion and personalized feedback.Students enrolling in this course should have taken at least ONE undergraduate or graduate research methods course.
