Reviews"I was especially impressed with the strong use of practical examples from actual research projects, both in the 'researcher standpoint' interviews and in the numerous case studies."--David L. Morgan, PhD, University Professor, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Portland State University "Unique. This is the first book I have seen that presents a detailed strategy for mixed methods research that is grounded in a qualitative--rather than quantitative or pragmatist--framework. Explicitly connecting with feminist, critical, and postmodern perspectives, the book will be particularly helpful to qualitative researchers who see value in using some quantitative methods and data but who are turned off by the usual quantitatively oriented presentations of mixed methods research."--Joseph Maxwell, PhD, Graduate School of Education, George Mason University"Four of the most serious problems in the social sciences are the fragmentation of research methods, the use of conventional methods for convenience, the lack of knowledge of qualitative methods, and naiveté regarding alternative philosophical frameworks. This book directly and competently addresses all four problems. It will help students and seasoned researchers learn to tailor methods to their research problems with sophisticated qualitative skills and philosophical perspective."--Frederick J. Wertz, PhD, Department of Psychology, Fordham University "Hesse-Biber's perspective on mixed methods research is grounded in the qualitative tradition, which allows her to examine the use of theoretical frameworks such as feminism and postmodernism in mixed methods work. Students will especially benefit from the book's numerous examples and its inclusion of firsthand reflections from mixed methods researchers, who discuss their approaches and the challenges they have faced. The book combines in-depth theoretical perspectives with practical advice on the technical side of mixed methods research."--Donna M. Mertens, PhD, Department of Educational Foundations and Research, Gallaudet University "This book is unique in its focus on how mixed methods may be utilized from various qualitative paradigms, including interpretative, feminist, and postmodern approaches. It is loaded with case examples and is written clearly for a graduate student audience. The treatment of ethics in mixed methods work is commendable."--Kai A. Schafft, PhD, Department of Education Policy Studies, Penn State University "Finally, a text that guides the reader toward sensitively and ethically completing a mixed methods research project. The book is rich with examples of interesting qualitative research studies that illustrate mixed methods without jargon or mystery. Contemporary issues include managing human subjects review, working with stakeholders, publishing across the disciplines, and judging what's feasible in conducting a mixed methods study."--Nancy Grudens-Schuck, PhD, Department of Agricultural Education and Studies, Iowa State University, "By ensuring that qualitative methods are given appropriate attention, this book fills an important niche in the growing literature on mixed methods. Hesse-Biber demonstrates strong mastery of both the epistemological and practical challenges of carrying out mixed methods studies. Her extensive experience shines through as she gives readers insights into both the challenges and rewards of this kind of research. The book successfully balances theory, methodology, and real-world praxis in its creative use of examples, exercises, and discussion questions."--Deborah K. Padgett, PhD, MPH, Silver School of Social Work, New York University "I was especially impressed with the strong use of practical examples from actual research projects, both in the 'researcher standpoint' interviews and in the numerous case studies."--David L.
