Mixed Methods: learn strategies and tools to facilitate integration of #qualitative and quantitative methods
In her October 29-30 course, Integrated Mixed Methods: Strategies and Tools, Alison Hamilton discusses pragmatic strategies and tools that facilitate integration of qualitative and quantitative methods.
The course is divided into 3 segments designed to maximize potential for integration and communication of findings:
The first segment of the workshop reviews mixed methods study design options and rationales, multiple decision points in integrated mixed methods research, and conceptualizations of mixed methods specific aims and research questions.
The second segment of the course focuses on specific components of integrating methods (e.g., in sampling, data collection, data analysis), using models and frameworks (when appropriate) to guide data collection and analysis, exploring analytic options, presenting results (e.g., using joint displays), and reviewing criteria for strong mixed methods publications.
The third segment of the workshop is interactive: participants are encouraged to bring their integrated mixed methods research questions to the session, along with any visuals that they have drafted. We will workshop several examples, providing opportunity for discussion, revision, and innovation.

Foundation principles to guide planning and designing of your #qualitative projects
A well-planned qualitative inquiry study...
· keeps a realistic timeframe—working “backwards” from the intended goal and deadline—to make the project responsive to ongoing developments
· underscores the continual need for flexibility, often addressed using multiple strategies of data generation and analysis
· critically uses evaluative criteria to assess areas that need particular focus or redirection
Learn to use these foundation principles to guide planning and designing of your qualitative projects with Elaine Keane in her course, Planning and Designing a Qualitative Project, on October 27-28.

youtu.be/HWkDSWy-juQ?si=2O7D…
Using memoing and diagramming as writing tools:
· Use data visualization techniques to look at your data in different ways.
· Think about memoing and diagramming as reflection tools to build and evolve conversations about what the data is teaching you, and to discover and document the content that weaves throughout an article, paper, or presentation.
· These practices enrich team meetings about what the key stories in the data are and what you are going to convey to your audience.

Subject: Why understanding AI is essential for qualitative researchers
Whether you are an advocate for, skeptic of, or unsure of your position on the use of AI in qualitative inquiry, there are important reasons why understanding AI has become essential for all qualitative researchers:
• Protecting participant and data privacy and confidentiality as institutional policies evolve.
• Reviewing manuscripts or grant proposals where authors have incorporated AI tools.
• Advising or teaching students experimenting with these tools to provide clear, principled guidelines to ensure authentic inquiry.
• Performing, guiding and evaluating AI assistance throughout the qualitative workflow including design, data collection, analysis, and presentation.
• Building informed AI critiques grounded in accurate understanding, ethics, and narrative integrity rather than broad assumptions.
Two courses taught this fall by Dr. Christina Silver provide a critical, practical space to navigate the goals outlined above by prioritizing methodological rigor and research ethics.
· Integrating AI into Qualitative Research Appropriately – with Christina Silver, October 5-6
· Enacting Reflexive Thematic Analysis Using Software and AI Tools –with Christina Silver, November 5-6
