How to collaborate across paradigms: Embedding culture in mixed methods designs

Mixed methods researchers combine qualitative and quantitative methods in the same study. Designing and conducting studies that include more than one approach often involves more than one researcher. Sometimes data scientists, interviewers who speak the language of participants, and other specialists are needed. In this webinar you will learn how to collaborate with a cross-cultural research team. We will explore how can culture influence mixed methods designs and how authors represent culture in the requisite integration of qualitative and quantitative research.

Hosted by Sage's Janet Salmons and Sean Scarisbrick, this interactive webinar will feature Cheryl Poth, Elizabeth Creamer, and Elsa Lucia Escalante-Barrios. Cheryl Poth is the editor, Elizabeth Creamer and Elsa Lucia Escalante-Barrios are section leads for the new Sage Handbook of Mixed Methods Research Design. The webinar will provide essential guidance for anyone hoping for guidance on how to conduct mixed methods research.
