As part of the MAXCAP research project, employing an inter-disciplinary and mixed methods approach that combines desk research, in-depth interviews and Q-methodology has been an essential part of the project from the very beginning. Now, Leeds Metropolitan University has created a very simple and fun video to explain how Q-methodology works. Since some of the MAXCAP researchers have been using exactly this method in their current research, for example Elitsa Kortenska at Leiden University, we wanted to share this helpful video:

Above, a picture from Ms. Kortenska's current project and her output from the Q-sorting can be seen.
