Research Methods
A step-by-step guide for new and experienced social science researchers looking to use interviewing as a research method.

First published Open Access under a Creative Commons license as What is Qualitative Interviewing?, this title is now also available as part of the Bloomsbury Research Methods series.

This book is a step-by-step guide for new and experienced social science researchers looking to use interviews in their projects. Rosalind Edwards and Janet Holland explain a range of interview types and practices, providing real research examples as informative illustrations of qualitative interviewing in practice, and the use of a range of creative interview tools. This new and expanded edition includes:

- recent developments in the radical critique of interviews debate focusing on form and content of interviews;
- the strategic shift to online interviewing in response to the Covid-19 pandemic;
- discussion of the decolonization of methodology and research, and the growing attention to indigenous methodologies for generating data;
- an assessment of the changing landscape for qualitative interviewing.

The authors explore the use of new technologies as well as issues around asking and listening, and power dynamics in research. Written in a clear and accessible style, the book concludes with an updated annotated bibliography of key texts and journals in the field.
