Topic: Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Methods This course seeks to examine the possibilities and problems associated with the integration of qualitative and qualitative methodologies. In particular, it examines the importance of mixed methodological approaches for comparative research. The seminar seeks to provide participants with a “hands on” approach to data collection, evaluation, and analysis. Through individual and group assignments, we will gain experience with specific methodological approaches and ethical concerns, including familiarity with the basic epistemological challenges associated with qualitative and quantitative approaches, central issues in probability and non-probability sampling/case selection, basic survey and interview protocol construction, observational techniques, focus groups, in-depth interviews, and content analysis. Given the limited time available for the seminar, a formal grant proposal will take the place of a formal research paper as the final project. Developing a detailed mixed methods research proposal enables participants to explore the possibilities offered by mixed methods studies. Ideally, the final project for the seminar will provide the basis for a portfolio writing sample, a future fellowship application, or the beginnings of your dissertation prospectus.
