Description and other notes

Uses a combination of mixed methods and content analysis—both atypical approaches for humanities based research.

(Proposed) Degree of separation or connection between atypical or unconventional component(s) and conventional or written component(s)

Connected. Atypical elements are inextricable from the conventional components of the dissertation.

(Proposed) Type of relationship construed between atypical or unconventional component(s) and conventional or written component(s)

Intermingled. There is a sense of exchange between the atypical or unconventional aspects of the dissertation and its more conventional components.

Notes/Reasoning

Choice of unconventional methods (i.e., integrating quantitatve data in a humanities based discipline) influenced the “objective” manner in which the dissertation was written, as well as its organization, which “roughly follows the same course as the research itself” (p. 27).
