Beyond methodological dualism: Combining qualitative and quantitative data

There is a long tradition of mixed methods research in the social sciences: Marienthal: The Sociography of an Unemployed Community by Marie Jahoda, Paul Lazarsfeld et al. (1933) was pioneering in this regard as it combined various types of data. Today, mixedmethods research and triangulation studies are popular in social scientific fields such as sociology, education sciences, and economics, and a number of comprehensive books have been published on the subject. The focus of this international workshop is on linking quantitative datasets with qualitative studies. Methodologically integrated study designs combine different perspectives on social phenomena. Thus, they offer an opportunity to analyze different aspects and draw conclusions from the analysis. Adapted from the source document.
