Securing Grants for Qualitative Research in Positivist Funding Environments

Join David Harding, Professor of Sociology and Faculty Director of D-Lab at UC Berkeley, for a discussion on how to successfully apply for qualitative research grants from funders with positivist inclinations. Prof. Harding, who has successfully applied for grants totaling over $5,000,000 from private and public funders during his 15 years in academia, studies poverty and inequality, urban neighborhoods, education, incarceration, and prisoner reentry. He uses both qualitative and quantitative methods, giving him great insight into appealing to funders with a variety of perspectives.
