This session will introduce you to the interview as a method to collect data. We will also explore and examine how each interview can involve very different participants (eg elite and migrants) and contexts (eg social and environmental circumstances).
You will also consider the structure of a one-to-one interview schedule, with the aim to collectively explore the importance of piloting interview questions.
With all of this in mind, this session will also introduce some of the ethical dimensions that different researchers will need to consider when using this data collection technique.
This session is aimed at external postgraduates who are applying for, or are currently enrolled on, a PhD programme.
Part of a series of five research skills training sessions. You can apply for this session individually or as part of a discounted package deal with the other four sessions.
