  • Summary

    This chapter is structured in four parts. First, the chapter reviews current approaches to the integration challenge and makes the case for a pragmatist approach. Second, it uses pragmatism to differentiate qualitative and quantitative research purposes and show how these purposes can be integrated to produce a more granular conceptualization of the synergies within simultaneous, sequential, and recursive designs. Third, it considers the question of creativity in mixed methods designs as a consequence of adopting a pragmatist standpoint. The chapter ends with a set of implications for mixed methods research and a call for new and creative methodologies in this area.
