Worldwide there is a growing interest in multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research.  This overview paper addresses some of the pitfalls and barriers to being an interdisciplinary researcher. Being involved in interdisciplinary research is not an easy option for an individual discipline expert. It requires individual skills, ability to see beyond one’s discipline and perhaps personality characteristics such as a great team player. Interdisciplinary research may involve a mixed-methods approach underpinned by conflicting, and according to some incommensurable, research philosophies. The paper uses some examples from our own experiences of working in interdisciplinary teams to illustrate its potential.

The Relationship ◽  
Quantitative Approaches

There is a germane relationship between qualitative and quantitative approaches to social science research. The relationship is empirically and theoretically demonstrated by poverty researchers. The study of poverty, as argued in this article, is a study of both numbers and contextualities. This article provides a general overview of qualitative and quantitative approaches to poverty studies and argues that only a combination of the two approaches, where necessary, would provide a robust, rich and reliable data for researching issues of poverty. Hence, the contemporary drive towards a mixed methods approach in poverty research is not only welcomed but certainly timely as well. Thus, understanding ontological and epistemological paradigms about social sciences is imperative in dousing such tensions.

Retrobulbar Hemorrhage

In response to the incidence of oculofacial traumas that were observed during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, military medical care provider training programs have placed an increased focus on the treatment of ocular traumas. As such, the Lateral Canthotomy and Cantholysis (LCC) Training System was developed to simulate the anatomy of the human eye and to mimic the symptoms of an eye that is afflicted with a retrobulbar hemorrhage. We report a mixed-methods psychophysics study that was conducted during the development of the LCC Training System to determine the appropriate retrobulbar pressure to be simulated by the trainer to provide anatomically accurate sensations of pressure. More than 200 eye inserts with either pre-or post-LCC pressures were evaluated by oculofacial trauma subject matter experts. The captured evaluations enabled the research team to identify and specify the pressure requirements that would be used by manufacturers to produce an anatomically and tactically-accurate trainer.

Stark Contrast

Recent studies have focused on challenging deficit narratives and discourses perpetuating the criminalization of Latino men and boys. But even with this emerging literature, mainstream counter-narratives of young Latino boys and their attitudes towards manhood and masculinity stand in stark contrast to the dangerous and animalistic portrayals of Latino boys and men in the media and society. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the authors draw on the notion of counter-storytelling to explore how Latino boys try to reframe masculinity, manhood, and what they label as ‘responsible manhood.’ Counter-storytelling and narratives provide a platform from which to challenge the discourse, narratives, and imaginaries guiding the conceptualization of machismo. In their counter-narratives, Latino boys critiqued how they are raced, gendered, and Othered in derogatory ways.
