Abstract

According to Mahoney and Goertz (2006), quantitative and qualitative research are “alternative cultures [with their own] values, beliefs and norms” (p. 227). Too often those alternative cultures are placed on a hierarchy where quantitative research reigns supreme. As a qualitative researcher and professor for the last four years, I often have been the lone advocate at my quantitatively-oriented university for authentic qualitative research. This presentation will chronicle my research advocacy.
