Synopsis

What is Qualitative Interviewing? is an accessible and comprehensive 'what is' and 'how to' methods book. The authors set out the links between philosophies and theories of how to know about the social world with how to go about researching it using interviews. A series of short chapters explain a range of interview types and practices, providing examples of different interview tools. Drawing on their own and colleagues' experiences Holland and Edwards provide real research examples as informative illustrations of qualitative interviewing in practice. They discuss the use of new technologies in qualitative interviewing as well as tackling enduring issues around asking and listening and power dynamics in research. Written in a clear and accessible style the book contains a useful annotated bibliography of key texts and journals in the field.
