Summary

Quantitative research methods are often considered incompatible with the need to explore issues of vulnerability, marginalisation and power in all their complexities. At the same time, quantitative data remains central in policy making and advocacy on behalf of marginalised groups. In this reading group session, we will explore these tensions. Researchers using quantitative or mixed methods are warmly invited to join us and share their experience in trying to capture complexity and adopt a critical stance in their work.
