Abstract
This article presents a mixed methods research design that embeds social network analysis, a quantitative method, into the qualitative approach, institutional ethnography, using an illustrative example of rape reporting. There are two practical outcomes of the embedded mixed methods research design, underwritten by the pragmatist paradigm: it offers a visual depiction of the ‘line of fault’ between the lived experience and its institutional representation, and it facilitates an analysis of the internal structure of the associated texts. Through its unusual blend of two methods, commonly considered to be at opposing ends of the methodological spectrum, the article advances the agenda of mixed methods and contributes to the recent debates about the nature and benefits of mixed methods research.
