Event Description
Improbable Dialogues:
Interprofessional Mixed Methods Research Collaborations
Presented by the Drexel University College of Nursing and Health Professions in
collaboration with the Mixed Methods International Research Association - www.mmira.org
Featuring John
Creswell, PhD as Keynote Speaker
The purpose of this one-day seminar is to bring together
researchers from multiple disciplines to focus on improbable interprofessional
topical and methodological dialogues through mixed methods research. Within
this purpose we hope to create new possibilities for research that could enrich
and expand the scope, reach, accessibility, and perspectives on critical issues
in a complex global culture. A rapidly emerging global culture presents
multidimensional and interconnected domestic and global issues related to
social and political challenges in areas such as healthcare, education, public
health, public policy, economics, information science, and related domains. It
is becoming increasingly apparent that the investigation of these complex
problems requires a team approach utilizing the expertise of researchers from
divergent disciplines, multiple worldviews, and varied methodological
competencies in order to provide comprehensive and creative solutions.
Interprofessional mixed methods research collaborations provide new
opportunities for us to comprehensively investigate these problems. |
