Abstract
Mixed methods research, the intentional integration of qualitative and quantitative research approaches in a line of inquiry, has emerged as a third research paradigm beyond the qualitative and quantitative paradigms. Participants in this lecture will gain insight into how integration of qualitative and quantitative approaches as mixed methods research has led to new ethical considerations. Participants will also discern strategies for mitigating ethical risks.
