Summary
This chapter addresses the methodological challenges presented by multi-sited, collaborative research design in TaPS, which provides a fruitful space for considering the benefits of mixed methods approaches. Multi-sited, multi-collaborator research projects frequently feature methodological variation. Whereas mixing methods addresses discrepancies between the different sites and cases that such a project brings together, collaborative research ensures that participants’ rationales for selecting and combining methods remain explicit. Emine Fişek illustrates these processes with reference to a hypothetical research project on theatre and performance practices responding to the European migrant crisis of 2015–16.
