Research Methods - why interviews??

As you are planning your research inquiry (Module two) or embarking on it (Module three) you may be considering using interviews as a data collection method. 

This TEDTalk with Dave Isay offers a great example of the value and power of interviews, the role of the interviewer, the ethics around interviews for you to consider and think further on as you develop your research or approach interviewing people. 


REMEMBER THE AIM OF THE INTERVIEW IS NOT TO GET PEOPLE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS!!!

  1. Thank you for sharing this, Helen. I had not considered how important and momentous it could be for the interviewee. "I Exist" is such a strong and meaningful statement. The validation of knowing your voice was being heard and your story was being told. I will definitely be taking this forward in my thoughts for the inquiry.
