Call for Papers for the Session Mixed Methods Research – Epistemological and Methodological Implications at the 9th International Conference on Social Science Methodology (RC33), University of Leicester (United Kingdom) Conference Date: September 11th – 16th, 2016 Submission Deadline for Papers: 21st January, 2016 Conference Website http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/sociology/research/rc33-conference/rc33-con... Please find further information on ISA RC33 (Research Committee on Logic & Methodology of the International Sociology Association) on http://www.rc33.org/ Session Topic Mixed methods research has a long tradition in social science and currently under major resurgence. In this session we would like to stimulate an exchange over epistemological issues arising from mixed methods research. Do we move ‘beyond paradigms’ with mixed methods research? What are lessons learned from empirical mixed methods research? Beyond design features of mixed methods studies, we would like to reflect upon epistemological implications of mixed methods research. We will not consider proposals dealing with mere presentations of mixed methods designs.
