Feminist Approaches to Quantitative Methods and Quantitative Data

Feminist Approaches to Quantitative Methods and Quantitative Data, a starter talk to give a taste of what 'strategic structuralism' is all about. It has arisen as a foundation for systematic mixed-methods research. To send feedback, use my professional email at the University of Manchester. It's available on the Internet. I am also in Linked-In and Facebook. In Facebook we have a network Integrated Mixed Methods Research. In the British Sociological Association we have a study group, Social Statistics. See URL https://www.britsoc.co.uk/groups/stud.... Click 'HOME' for the rationale for the group. To join, you must join the BSA first. To attend an event, just sign up - non-members are usually welcome. Upcoming events include coaching on using R software, child labour measurement, and others.
