What's QMMLL?

Qualitative and Mixed Methods Learning Lab (QMMLL) is a learning-based group seminar that meets twice per month from September-June each year. 

QMMLL is designed for students and faculty interested in conducting mixed methods research. Originally formed by Dr. Jane Forman and Dr. Arden Morris and currently led by Dr. Forman, Dr. Melissa Dejonckheere, Dr. Paul Chandanabhumma, it offers expert panel review and peer feedback, and advocacy for the use of mixed methods within our research community. 
​
