Qualintitative

An on-line resource for anthropologists and all others interested in combining qualitative and quantitative approaches (aka qualintitative) to social science research.

What this blog is about...

When I was a grad student in anthropology, I entertained myself (and distracted myself from writing my dissertation) by writing advice-column-style exchanges with imaginary anthropologists. I did it as a release of frustration at the approach many anthropologists take to conducting research. I published a few of these in the Anthropology News "To Wit" column (January, November, and December 2003), but I decided to post any new letters in a blog format because the "To Wit" column now seems to be defunct.

I'll also answer any actual questions you have about anthropology, anthropological training, mixing qualitative and quantitative methodology. I especially enjoy addressing the practical issues that come up for anthropology graduate students because prividing information about these issues is often overlooked by departments and adivsors. If I can't answer the question, I'll find someone who can.

I'll also draw your attention to tools for conducting mixed methods research and examples of good uses of mixed qualitative and quantitative research. I'll also comment on the state of anthropology and anthropological training.

If you have a question that needs answering, post a question in one of the open posts.
