I am a mixed methodology researcher from a developing country (Malaysia). In the beginning of my journey as a MM researcher, I was devastated as I could not find other MM colleagues in my country. To equip myself, I attended the pre-conference workshop and 6th MM conference in Baltimore, Maryland. Though it was indeed a very expensive trip (I was a PhD student at that time), i gained knowledge and confidence. Since then I always refer to MM journal and Methodspace Discussion for information. Now, with the newly formed MMIRA, there will be more venues for MM sharing information. My dream is, one day MM would be integrated in the country's post graduate curriculum. Thus, I am looking forward for leadership and mentoring opportunities provided by MMIRA. 

I am an independent researcher in community health from India. It is an enriching

feeling to be connected to others using MM through MMIRA. I have recently completed a research study using MM within the transformative paradigm and am looking forward

to publishing. It would be useful to create and dessiminate a workbook for experienced researchers to apply MM within their own work. This could include several examples,

even FAQs and most importantly the philosophical aspects of MM. Since many

researchers work to highlight issues centering around equity, they would benefit.I will

be glad to participate in the creation of such a document.

   

Please look at the news - you will see a conference in Japan and a workshop in Denmark.  Hopefully, we can continue to promote these international events as  opportunities for mixed methods researchers to gather.  Thanks.

Glad to now be a member; I am at McMaster Hamilton, clin epi biostats, and while my area is in quan, I have done a qual course and fascinated by the MM approach. 

Hi!!!!!
I have the pleasure to join the group.
Together we can share  experience and knowledge in program evaluation and research methods.

Its a great pleasure for me

See you soon

Thanks
