Reviews / Votes
This should be the go-to handbook for any qualitative researcher. A robust academic foundation is illuminated by intriguing and involving examples, allowing the reader to participate in rather than merely observe the research journey. -- Valerie Will This remarkable book provides an outstanding guide to the complex art of interviewing. It dispels myths that interviews are an 'easy' or 'natural' process and takes readers on a step by step journey to vastly improving their skills. It is ideal for researchers and students alike. -- Roisin Ryan-Flood This lively, engaging and comprehensive guide offers the research student exactly what they need to design an interview-based project. Combining practical advice with theoretical ideas, ethical debates and personal reflections, Morgan Brett and Wheeler take the reader on a rich, robust and rewarding journey. -- Susie ScottMore details
