Abstract
This book makes clear the procedures and practices surrounding qualitative interviewing. Qualitative interviews are a critical part of qualitative research, but understandings of what it means to carry out interviews have shifted over time. This book provides the latest studies and practical guidance on how to cater for a broad range of research. It shows researchers and students how to begin with key questions and theories and the best interviewing tactic to take. What is Qualitative Interviewing? addresses the changes brought by new technologies as well as enduring issues such as asking and listening, the implications of power dynamics, and the broader social relations for research and interviewer-interviewee relations.
