Hi all,

If any of you have appropriate projects this is a great conference, and not
just because I'm one of the organizers.

If you have any questions about it, please let me know.

Nick

We invite you to submit your paper proposal to the Eighth Annual Southwest
Workshop on Mixed Methods Research (SWMMR). We will meet on October 19-20,
2023, at the University of Maryland, College Park.

*Format:* The annual workshop will include several panels of scholars who
will present and discuss article- or chapter-length works in progress that
either (a) utilize mixed methods in substantive social science research or
(b) contribute to the methodology of mixed-method research.

Participants will receive critical feedback from senior scholars as well as
feedback from the other participants. Confirmed senior scholars for 2023
include Agustina Giraudy (American University), Laia Balcells (Georgetown
University), Mai Hassan (MIT), Isabella Alcañiz (University of Maryland),
and Callie Jones (University of Maryland).

*Costs:* There is no conference fee. Meals, coffee, and snacks will be
provided free of charge during the workshop. Participants are expected to
fund their own travel and hotel costs, although SWMMR may provide lodging
or travel credits if sufficient funding is received.

*Inclusivity:* One of our goals for this workshop is to advance the
professional development of junior scholars and graduate students. We
therefore especially encourage paper proposals from graduate students in
their last year and early career professors at the Assistant or Associate
rank. Additionally, we are committed to fostering diversity in the field of
methodology and strongly encourage submissions from individuals who
identify with underrepresented groups.

*Application Process*

To apply, please visit our website, https://conferencebit.com/swmmr2023.
Please submit your proposal by June 1, 2023, 11:59 pm (PST). Your proposal
should include the following information (500 words maximum):

(1) Name of applicant (including any coauthors),

(2) Contact email,

(3) Summary of the paper,

(4) An explicit explanation of how your paper incorporates mixed methods.
Specifically, for papers focused on substantive topics, please explain how
the two or more different methods used in the paper strengthen the key
claim(s) of the paper in terms of measurement validity, internal validity,
external validity, causal inference, or other aspects of the research
design. For papers making a methodological contribution, please explain how
the paper’s methodological argument(s) connect with recent scholarship on
and debates about the theory of mixed method research.

*Optional statement: *A key mission of SWMMR moving forward is to promote
the work of our minoritized colleagues in the social sciences. Indeed, we
have won a special grant from APSA Centennial Center that allows us to
provide additional funding for those colleagues who, as a function of the
nature of the Academy, have been systematically discriminated against. We
ask for an optional statement about how your participation may enhance
diversity and inclusion at SWMMR. Please upload your optional statement as
a separate document from your abstract.

If you have any questions, please email swmmrworkshop at gmail.com. We will
notify the results by the end of June.

Looking forward to another awesome SWMMR!
