DESCRIPTION:PUBLIC LECTURE [FOLLOWED BY Q&A]\n\nThere is increasing interes
 t in collaborative research engaging different disciplines/sectors and met
 hods. Are there some proven approaches in planning a large collaborative p
 roject involving both qualitative and quantitative research that ensure th
 e qualitative contribute is optimized?  \n\nI begin by describing the app
 eal of mixed methods. Using examples from both academic journals and stude
 nt research projects\, I discuss studies that mix both qual and quant or j
 ust mix different qualitative methods.\n\nMost mixed methods research begi
 ns with quantitative data and then moves on to qualitative materials\, usu
 ally open-ended interviews. I criticize the assumption that this allows us
  to ‘go deeper’ or more empathetically into social phenomena.\n\nI then 
 outline the limitations of the suggestion that\, by using mixed methods\, 
 we can reveal the ‘whole picture’ of some social phenomenon. I also draw
  attention to the naïve positivist assumptions behind much mixed methods 
 research.\n\nQuantitative research must define its variables at the outset
  in order to measure them reliably. In my view\, the beauty of qualitative
  research is that\, mostly using naturalistic data\, it allows us to under
 stand how social phenomena are put together rather than to legislate their
  character at the outset. I conclude by demonstrating a more fruitful divi
 sion of labour between quant and qual research through which we can gain b
 y mixing methods.
