What is WRM?

Women in Research Methods (WRM)  is for women academics in management and the organizational sciences who share an interest in research methods. We are faculty members and doctoral students sharing interests, questions, concerns, and advice on writing methods papers, using methods, teaching methods, integrating methods research into an academic career, and other issues related to both qualitative and quantitative methods.
