Session Leader: Professor Sue Onslow (King's College, London)
This session provides guidance and practical advice on conducting and transcribing interviews. It will start with group interviews and witness seminars. The session will explore issues related to objectivity and subjectivity; how to evaluate the usefulness of collected information and use it effectively for the research project; how to distinguish between fact and opinion; and the role of secondary sources. It will also address issues of sensitivity, cultural awareness, and ethical interviewing.
