Workshop: Emerging Methodologists in Qualitative and Multi-Method Research

该项目为正在进行的定性和多方法研究方法年度会议奠定了基础。由政治科学家组成的多元化团队领导的合作努力，旨在扩大学者社区，他们开发和出版生成和分析定性研究数据的方法，并将这些技术与定量技术相结合。该项目通过鼓励和增强代表性不足群体的研究人员的能力，使他们能够将自己的观点纳入方法论辩论，并发展他们的方法论思想，促进科学进步。这些定性研究人员的工作将扩大一套可用的工具，用于创建和处理定性数据，将加强学科的方法基础，并将鼓励定性领域的进步。更广泛地说，方法教师社区的多样化可以产生重要的下游效应，因为这些教师可以作为榜样，激励与他们一起工作的学生成为下一代方法创新者。该奖项资助三个首届新兴方法论研讨会定性和多方法解释性研究（EMW-QMER）将于2023年秋季，2024年和2025年举行。在每个研讨会上，六名高级研究生和来自代表性不足群体的初级教师将展示并收到他们撰写的关于收集，生成或分析定性数据的方法和/或整合定性和定量方法的策略的论文的反馈。参加研讨会的将是对发展、出版和教授定性和多方法研究感兴趣的政治科学家。项目工作人员和一个广泛的高级学者小组将被征聘为每位演讲者的导师，他们将提供大力支持，将演讲者介绍到网络中，并努力建立一个包容性的社区。该倡议将为开发生成和分析定性数据以及整合定性和定量技术的方法带来新的声音，观点和想法。随着越来越多来自代表性不足群体的学者在方法上进行创新并发表他们的工作，他们的贡献将扩大、多样化，从而丰富专注于开发此类方法的研究界。最终，预期会产生乘数效应，来自代表性不足群体的本科生和研究生越来越有动力发展自己对研究方法的想法，因为他们看到了他们可以密切联系的教师，他们可以在写作，教学，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识产权进行评估来支持。优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。

This project lays the groundwork for an ongoing annual conference in methodology for qualitative and multi-method research. A collaborative effort led by a diverse team of political scientists that aims to expand the community of scholars who develop and publish on methods for generating and analyzing qualitative research data, and for combining such techniques with their quantitative counterparts. The project promotes the progress of science by encouraging and empowering researchers from under-represented groups to bring their perspectives to methodological debates and to develop their methodological ideas. The work of these qualitative researchers will enlarge the set of available tools for creating and working with qualitative data, will strengthen the discipline's methodological foundations, and will encourage advancements of the qualitative field. More broadly, the diversification of the community of methods faculty can have important downstream effects as those faculty serve as role models, inspiring the students who work with them to become the next generations of methodological innovators. This award funds three inaugural Emerging Methodologists Workshop for Qualitative and Multi-Method Explanatory Research (EMW-QMER) will be held in Fall 2023, 2024, and 2025. At each workshop, six advanced graduate students and junior faculty from under-represented groups will present and receive feedback on a paper they have written on methods for collecting, generating, or analyzing qualitative data, and/or strategies for integrating qualitative and quantitative methods. The workshops will be attended by political scientists interested in developing, publishing on, and teaching qualitative and multi-method research. Project personnel and a broad team of senior scholars recruited to serve as mentors for each presenter will offer intensive support, introducing presenters into networks and working to build an inclusive community. The initiative will bring new voices, perspectives, and ideas to the development of methods for generating and analyzing qualitative data, and for integrating qualitative and quantitative techniques. As more scholars from under-represented groups innovate methodologically and publish their work, their contributions will broaden, diversify, and thus enrich the research community focused on developing such approaches. Ultimately a multiplier effect is anticipated through which undergraduate and graduate students from under-represented groups are increasingly motivated to develop their own ideas about research methods because they see faculty to whom they can closely relate writing on, teaching, and leading organizations dedicated to such methods.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
