Session: Mixed Methods: Introduction and Specific Methods

Time: Tuesday 3rd July, 10:00 - 12:30

Convenor:

Professor Wendy Olsen (University of Manchester, Cathie Marsh Institute)

Abstract Details

The session begins with an overview of mixed methods epistemology and ontology, introducing triangulation and essential features of entities. A question-and-answer session follows.

Next we have a presentation on a specific mixed-methods qualitative approach by the experienced community researcher, Dr. Punita Chowbey.

Dr. Thomson and Dr. Olsen present qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), a systematic approach to tabulating and analysing case-study data. See www.compasss.org. The QCA method also extends into fuzzy-set analysis where ordinal variables are recorded as fuzzy sets. In both QCA and fuzzy methods, we analyse causality in innovative
