Instead of recentArticles list, provide list of pages in series/section using cardview

This might be a question for Hugo in general, but it involves creating a list using the templates and modules provided by this theme.

On the homepage, you have the availability to enable "recent articles" to display a list (preferably in cardview) of recent pages/posts. Although this is nice, and probably will be re-enabled later, what I am looking to do is generate a cardview list of pages within a section/series labeled "research".

The series is in it's own section, and has been added to the hugo param configuration under "main sections". Which would look like this mainSections = ['posts', 'research', 'pages', 'gallery'].

So now all I should need to do is tell Hugo to generate a list from the research section using the cardview template, and this is where things get royally buggered. I have tried to modify the code within the cardview layout file, including it in my custom.html. Unfortunately, Hugo does not like my crapy syntax.

      <!-- First I tried altering the code that was already present --> 
       {{ range first 7 (where (where .Site.RegularPagesRecursive "Type" "in"
        .Site.Params.mainSections) ".Parent" "=" "research")}}
       {{ partial "article-link/card.html" . }}
        {{ end }}

       <!-- Then I got real brave and tried this smattering of code -->
        {{ range first 7 .Site.Taxonomies.Parent "=" "research" }}
        {{ partial "article-link/card.html" . }}
        {{ end }}

     <!-- Then I tried both again, attempting to call the section -->
       {{ range first 7 (where (where .Site.RegularPagesRecursive "Type" "in"
        .Site.Params.mainSections) ".Section" "=" "research")}}
       {{ partial "article-link/card.html" . }}
        {{ end }}

        {{ range first 7 .Site.Taxonomies.Section "=" "research" }}
        {{ partial "article-link/card.html" . }}
        {{ end }}

As you can assume, neither of the two were accepted. So, any help pointing me in the right direction to create this list would be appreciated.

Don't ask me how, but I found a combination that worked.

        {{ range last 6 (.Site.GetPage "section" "research" ).Pages }}
        {{ partial "article-link/card.html" . }}
        {{ end }}
