Mixed methods research (the integration of qualitative and quantitative components in
single or related studies) has made important contributions to knowledge in many
disciplines, and has become an increasingly important tool in applied research and
evaluation.  In this symposium, we will identify and discuss the challenges and
opportunities in doing mixed methods research, and ultimately focus on the question
“What’s the added value of mixed methods?
 The symposium will feature two noted mixed methods researchers:
 Jennifer Greene from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will talk on
“Conceptual and Methodological Considerations in Mixed Methods Research, ”  and Ana
Penman-Aguilar from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will talk on
“Integrating Information from Qualitative Interviews into Statistical Models.”

public policy formation and implementation for everyday people. Students have now

6) PROPOSAL WRITING TIPS
Here are links to three very interesting publications in pdf format, downloadable at
no cost from the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation. Each in its way is an argument
against the jargon-laden and over-inflated language that may often be found in many
proposals. These publications argue in favor of the use of plain language. They are
not "how to" publications, but instead address a more fundamental issue that arises
when making a case for funding in writing. While these papers are writtenfrom the
perspective of a not-for-profit organization, their advice is applicable to preparing
text for federal applications as well as to making applications to private sources.

7) FIELD SCHOOLS
Historical Archaeology of Irish Immigrant Experiences in South Bend, Indiana
DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME
Irish immigrants arriving in the United States in 1902.
The story of America is told primarily through the experiences of immigrants. The
2007 archaeological field school will explore the lives of nineteenth- and
twentieth-century Irish immigrants to South Bend, Indiana.  There were two Irish
neighborhoods in the city.  The Fourth Ward was on the east side of the St. Joseph
River and was situated around St. Joseph Parish (originally known as St. Alexis).
Father Sorin founded the parish in 1853 as a mission of Notre Dame.  A significant
number of residents in this enclave were employees of Notre Dame, providing service
to students or participating in the construction of campus buildings.  The Third Ward
was on the west side of the river, oriented around St. Patrick Parish.  The occupants
of these homes were predominately employed in west side factories and with the
railroad.  Living close together provided individuals and families with religious,
social, and even financial support.
The Field School will be taught in two 3-week course modules.  Students may choose to
take one or both of the courses:
ANTH 35588:  Archaeology Field School (Undergraduate); ANTH 65588:  Archaeology Field
School (Graduate)
May 29-June 14, 2007 -  We will meet Monday thru Thursday 8:30 am - 6:30 pm
Maximum enrollment: 12     (3-credits)
This module will consist of practical instruction in the methods and theory of
archaeological survey, excavation, and laboratory analysis.  Students learn field
techniques and apply them to investigations of both prehistoric and historic
archaeological materials by working with artifacts collected during the field course
ANTH 45855:  Archaeology and Material Culture
June 18- July 5, 2007 - We will meet Monday thru Thursday 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Maximum enrollment: 12     (3-credits)
This module will be an archaeology lab class which will provide an activity-based
setting to explore the meanings and interpretations of archaeological artifacts.  It
will provide an in-depth introduction to basic laboratory methods for the
organization, curation, and analysis of artifacts.

7b) summer program University of North Texas Dept. of Anthropology for junior-level
undergraduates.
We have been funded by the National Science Foundation to provide a 10 week intensive
program teaching Sociocultural anthropological scientific research methods to
students who are members of groups typically underrepresented on college campuses,
including ethnic minorities and first-generation college students (for whom neither
parent graduated from college).  Our goal is to help promote the development of
underrepresented and first-generation students as future social scientists.  The
program will run from June 4 to August 10, 2007.  It includes the cost ofhousing,
and a stipend of approximately $4000 for the 10 weeks.  College credit isavailable.
This will be our seventh year conducting the program.  Previous graduateshave said
that it provides them with a valuable chance to obtain practical trainingand
resources to prepare for independent research, graduate school, or a career.
We ask for your support, to help publicize the UNT program by displaying our flyer
(attached), or by suggesting the program to qualified students you know. We feel the
opportunity for meaningful, in-depth participation in summer research studies can be
advantageous to students' intellectual development, motivation, and personal growth,
and thus represents a worthwhile endeavor which we hope your students will be a part
of.  Applications will be due this year April 23, 2007.
For more information about the program, please see our website at
http://www.unt.edu/anthropology/nsf.htm.
If you have any further questions about the program or about the application
procedure for students, please don't hesitate to contact me at 940-565-3836, or email
