Intersecting mixed methods with phenomenology

In this chapter we provide both a philosophical and practical discussion regarding the intersection between phenomenology and methods grounded in post-positivism within a single study and provide two illustrative examples of mixed methods research that have incorporated phenomenology in a philosophically sensitive manner. In doing so, we present an overview of the ongoing conceptualization of Mixed Methods Phenomenological Research (MMPR) and a framework for the use of phenomenology as a component within Mixed Methods Research (MMR), exploring how MMPR expands current methodological practice and contributes to the advancement of MMR.
