The Struggle and Additional Work of Learning Critical Mixed Methods (Poster 5)

• In Event: Friday Poster Session 3:05 pm

Abstract

This critical qualitative study seeks to interrogate how critical educators can erase the lines of separation and categorization in academia between qualitative and quantitative research methods by using the metaphor of family as research. The metaphor represents and results in a reimagining of critical mixed/muti-methods research. The study engaged in testimonios and platicas over the course of semester to critique early academic socialization experiences with research. What manifested is the weaving together critical theoretical of frameworks to further problematize the dehumanize practices embedded in post-secondary education. Ultimately, the study aims to inform educational researchers to reimagine research socialization to account for a student’s experiences, cultural and experiential knowledge, interdisciplinary approaches, and commitments to social justice.
