You have a great research question, you've found your method, now who will be your methodologist?
Are you interested in utilizing Q Method for your research, but don't have a dedicated methodologist on your faculty familiar with the process? As an experienced Q Methodologist with multiple studies, presentations, and dissertation committees, Dr. Kat would be happy to help you out!
Q Methodology can be confusing, but it is often the best method to ascertain the "why" behind the "how" your subjects feel about your question. Q Methodology (Q) is a complete methodology which involves technique (sorting), method (factor analysis), philosophy, ontology, and epistemology. Q reveals and describes divergent views in a group as well as consensus. More information about the method can be found on the Q Method website, the organization's facebook page, and by contacting Dr. Kat.
Through an agreement with your institution, Dr. Kat can be brought in as an external member for your dissertation or thesis committee in order to serve as the methodology expert. Rates vary, but are generally set (and paid) by your institution. If this is something you are interested in pursuing, please contact us as early as possible in the process, as the paperwork required can be cumbersome and your institution may have early deadlines that need to be met.

“I was able to spend more time on my writing and research with the help that Dr. Kat provided. I'm not necessarily a technophile, so having her help with my formatting and learning the tools available to help make my life easier saved me so much time and frustration.”

Worth every penny.
“Without Dr. Kat, I wouldn't have finished my dissertation on time or gotten through the ETD (electronic thesis and dissertation) review process at my institution. Well worth the investment.”
