Description
Pragmatism and Methodology: Doing Research That Matters with Mixed Methods By Alex Gillespie, Vlad Glăveanu, and Constance de Saint Laurent Cambridge University Press, 2024 This book offers a pragmatic approach to research methods and methodology, providing a framework for meaningful, impactful, and ethical research in the social and behavioural sciences. The authors explore how pragmatism can turn challenges into opportunities, particularly when dealing with large sets of qualitative data. The book outlines a new type of mixed methods design called 'multi-resolution research', which aims to overcome the divide between quantitative and qualitative methods. This approach is ideal for students and researchers seeking new ways to analyse complex qualitative data. The authors also discuss epistemology, theory, questions, ethics, data collection, and analysis from a pragmatist perspective. Available as Open Access on Cambridge Core, this book provides a valuable resource for those looking to enhance their research skills and methods.
