Justice-Centered Mixed Methods Research

This insightful and practical book provides a comprehensive guide to conducting mixed methods research (MMR) from a social, environmental, and economic justice perspective. Unique to the text is its emphasis on embedding critical self-reflection and justice-centered decision-making into every stage of the research process, including in quantitative research, a direction frequently overlooked. The authors guide readers from conceptualizing and designing studies to implementing, interpreting, sharing, and discussing findings, as well as building coalitions and maintaining relationships with communities. Every chapter includes “Insights from Practice”—first-person reflections and case studies on what worked, what didn't, and lessons learned—from scholars across disciplines and countries who use MMR to address justice-centered aims.
