MMIRA-Oceania was established in December, 2019 as a Chapter of the Mixed Methods International Research Association.
Our objectives:

2. Support and build MMR capacity for researchers and research students throughout the Oceania Region;
3. Contribute to civil society through enhancing the mixed methods research skills of those working professionally in development and policy work, and in practice more generally;
4. Connect members to the wider global networks of mixed methods researchers.
