What an extraordinary final day at the Mixed Methods Research International Association (MMIRA) in Brisbane!

We were privileged to hear two outstanding keynote presentations from Prof. Cheryl Poth and now we hear Prof. Anthony J. Onwuegbuzie, offering thought-provoking perspectives on mixed methods research, complexity, quality and the future of our field.

The closing ceremony is also a wonderful celebration of achievement, with Best Paper Awards recognising excellence in mixed methods scholarship, and a truly special Lifetime Award presented to Prof. Pat Bazeley — a fitting recognition of her extraordinary contribution to mixed methods research, mentoring and the research community❤️

What’s next? A panel discussion on MMR and AI.
