I am an academic, now emerita, with ambitions of being on the Ted show to talk about mixed methods approaches to research. I am an avid foodie and was a regular food traveler until COVID struck. I initially dreamed of being a novelist, but found great satisfaction and some visibility for what is now almost 40 years of academic writing. It is not in my DNA to approach any task mechanically or in a routine way. I devote a great deal of time to each article I write. Each article presents its own challenges. When I read them later, it seems like a mini-miracle written by someone else who seems awfully familiar with a wide body of research and methodological literature about mixed methods.
Retired, I am publishing more than I did when I was a faculty member. I write both scholarly books and articles. My first textbook, An Introduction to Fully Integrated Mixed Methods Research, was published by SAGE US in 2010. I played around with the idea of an architectural arch as a metaphor for mixed methods research, with the keystone representing the inferences that are constructed from the inter-mingling of qualitative and numbers-oriented research.
Now finding myself a fan of book writing, despite COVID regimes, my second textbook, I Advancing Grounded Theory with Mixed Methods was published in August 2021 by Routledge (Taylor & Francis), UK. Two years later, I published a third textbook about integrating qualitative and quantitative data in figures and tables. It’s called: Visual aDisplays in Qualitative and Mixed Methods Research: A Comprehensive Guide. Each textbook is chock-full of practical examples of real-world MMR.
