Research
​One of the most important principles of social research is to let your question define your method (and not the other way around). Tell us your questions, and let us figure out the best method, design and strategy for you. We have experts in different areas, and we specialize in mixed methods research: we can bring surveys, interviews, focus groups, field work and use of existing data sets under the same study to give you the fullest, most detailed picture of the field.
For a case study of mixed methods application in the study of ethno-religious conflict in Southeastern Turkey, check our post here.
