Reviews / Votes
As a researcher and educator I find this book to be an invaluable resource, a detailed yet accessible guide for all those engaged in qualitative research. -- Daragh Bradshaw Interviews in Qualitative Research (Second Edition) should be your first line of defense as you voyage through the minefield of using the method of interviewing. As a supervisor and qualitative researcher, this is a must-have, accessible read to support researchers at any stage. A helping, comforting hand to hold for qualitative researchers! -- Jo Bowser-Angermann This is an impressive and comprehensive exploration of the use of interviews in qualitative research - theoretically rich, practically sensible, robust in application and academically relevant. It is essential reading for researchers at all levels of their research journey - an excellent resource and contribution to the literature. -- Derek Farrell Interviews in Qualitative Research is a must read for ambitious students and developing researchers. The authors holistically detail the interview method whilst remaining clear, concise and coherent. I am confident this book will help produce high quality qualitative research! -- James Bowness A comprehensive and accessible introduction to qualitative interviews. It is particularly strong on the practical aspects of designing and conducting interview-based studies using a wide range of settings, methods and approaches. It will become a trusted companion to many an undergraduate or postgraduate student, especially those who value an applied perspective. The new edition therefore deserves to defend its place on many a qualitative methods reading list - including my own. -- Susanne Langer * The British Psychological Society QMiP Bulletin * This is an accessible and authoritative text that provides a detailed outline of the interview process from start to finish [...] The book usefully adopts an applied perspective and draws on 'real world' case studies to exemplify the possibilities and challenges that might arise throughout the interview process. It provides much practical guidance about how interviews might be planned, conducted and analysed - with boxes, tables and figures proving a particularly useful feature -- Dr Oliver Hooper * SRA Research Matters *More details
