Two free toolkits for mixed method researchers
We've now finished two 'toolkits' on different aspects of life as a mixed method researcher. The first one, 'Practical considerations of leading and working on mixed method teams' we think of as a bit of a survival guide to working in mixed method projects: http://www.manchester.ac.uk/realities/resources/toolkits/mixed-method-working/ (let me know if you identify with any of the issues raised!).
The second 'What to do with contradictory data?', by Vanessa May, is for those moments when you discover that rather than neatly corroborating each other, your data are just plain contradictory: http://www.manchester.ac.uk/realities/resources/toolkits/contradictory-data/. As Vanessa explains, it's not the end of the world...
