What Is Qualitative Interviewing?

Description

What is Qualitative Interviewing? is an accessible and comprehensive 'what is' and 'how to' methods book. It is distinctive in emphasising the importance of good practice in understanding and undertaking qualitative interviews within the framework of a clear philosophical position. Rosalind Edwards and Janet Holland provide clear and succinct explanations of a range of philosophies and theories of how to know about the social world, and a thorough discussion of how to go about researching it using interviews. A series of short chapters explain and illustrate a range of interview types and practices. Drawing on their own and colleagues' experiences Holland and Edwards provide real research examples as informative illustrations of qualitative interviewing in practice, and the use of a range of creative interview tools. They discuss the use of new technologies as well as tackling enduring issues around asking and listening and power dynamics in research. Written in a clear and accessible style the book concludes with a useful annotated bibliography of key texts and journals in the field. What is Qualitative Interviewing? provides a vital resource for both new and experienced social science researchers across a range of disciplines. 9781849668095_FM_Fpp_txt_prf.pdf......Page 1 9781849668095_Ch01_Fpp_txt_prf.pdf......Page 11 9781849668095_Ch02_Fpp_txt_prf.pdf......Page 21 9781849668095_Ch03_Fpp_txt_prf.pdf......Page 39 9781849668095_Ch04_Fpp_txt_prf.pdf......Page 53 9781849668095_Ch05_Fpp_txt_prf.pdf......Page 63 9781849668095_Ch06_Fpp_txt_prf.pdf......Page 75 9781849668095_Ch07_Fpp_txt_prf.pdf......Page 87 9781849668095_Ch08_Fpp_txt_prf.pdf......Page 99 9781849668095_Ref01_Fpp_txt_prf.pdf......Page 109 9781849668095_Ref02_Fpp_txt_prf.pdf......Page 117
