About the Book

Papers from a workshop held in London, England, in July 2013.

Book Synopsis

The added value of mixed methods research in poverty and vulnerability is now widely established. Nevertheless, gaps and challenges remain. This volume shares experiences from research in developed and developing country contexts on how mixed methods approaches can make research more credible, usable and responsive to complexity.

Review Quotes

"The book is well organized and allows the readers to follow the argument straightforwardly. ... I consider Mixed Methods Research in Poverty and Vulnerability a significant, fresh and opportune contribution. All the authors have a wide-ranging knowledge of the case studies presented, and the editors managed to bring forward a compact and coherent book which discusses mixed methods linked to the concepts of poverty and vulnerability." (Marisa R. Ferreira, Progress in Development Studies, Vol. 17 (1), 2017)
