Her primary instructional ambitions are twofold. First, she aims to facilitate student understanding of the politics and power of method, of the premise that method importantly shapes the knowledge and understanding obtained from an empirical study. This is in contrast to an understanding of method as value-neutral and mainly a matter of technique. Greene’s second instructional ambition is to enable students to not only learn about various methodological traditions, but to begin to become wise practitioners of them. Methodological practice is ever so much more challenging than methodological theory. Greene’s own methodological expertise includes interpretivist-qualitative and mixed methods traditions.
