Call for Collaborators: Multi-Country, Multi-University Collaborative Research Projects
Call for Collaborators
We are pleased to invite scholars, graduate students, and early-career researchers to join two exciting collaborative research projects that emerged from a recent research exchange at Morgan State University. A distinguished team of scholars with shared interests in mixed-methods research, media effects, and mental health is leading these projects.
Project 1: Scoping Systematic Review of Mixed Methods Research (2014–present)
This project will conduct a global review of mixed-methods studies published over the past decade. The focus will be on identifying research trends, methodological innovations, and gaps—particularly in media effects, mental health, and social well-being. Collaborators will contribute to literature search, screening, data extraction, coding, and writing. All contributors will be credited as co-authors.
Project 2: Multi-University Mixed-Methods Study
This empirical study will involve data collection from students and participants at multiple universities across countries. Topics may include student well-being, media literacy, or AI in education. Collaborators will help design instruments, collect data locally, and contribute to analysis and manuscript development. The goal is to co-author a high-impact publication representing broad institutional participation.
