Interviewing in Social Science Research: A Relational Approach

This short, highly readable book explores an interpretive approach to interviewing for purposes of social science research, examining interviewing as a relational enterprise. As a relational undertaking, interviewing is more akin to a dialogue than an interrogation. Fujii examines the methodological foundations for a relational approach to interviewing, while at the same time covering many of the practical nuts and bolts. This book will be of great value to graduate students and researchers from across the social sciences who are considering or planning to use interviews in their research, and can be easily used by academics for teaching courses or workshops in social science methods.
