An Interdisciplinary Network on the Methodology and Applications of Integrative Research Methods
Results from the network project are published in the edited volume Mixed Methods and Multimethod Social Research – Current Applications and Future Directions (working title), scheduled to appear as a special issue of Forum Qualitative Sozialforschung / Forum Qualitative Social Research in spring 2023 (funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft [DFG, German Research Foundation] – project number 374277577). Guest editors are Felix Knappertsbusch, Nicole Burzan, Nigel Fielding, and Margrit Schreier.
The issue is organized into four thematic sections. In Section 1, the focus is on methodological, philosophical, and sociological reflections on past and current MMMR practice. Section 2 addresses the potentials and problems of combining different types of data and methods in empirical research practice. In Section 3, the emphasis is on MMMR applications in a number of substantive research areas, including media psychology, education research, and sociological museum research.
The following list includes all accepted contributions, some of which are still undergoing peer review, grouped by thematic sections.
