FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Responding to the increasing interest in what has become known as the "archival turn," Quests for Questioners: Inventive Approaches to Qualitative Interviews is a research volume written by many of todays leading practitioners. Offering qualitative researchers an entrée into the world of working with archival repositories and special collections, it also serves as a primer for students and researchers who might not be familiar with these sorts of collections. It is especially helpful to novice researchers seeking a general introduction into how special collections are created and how they can be used. Quests for Questioners offers useful, clear guidance on a variety of topics, including:using different types of archivesdeveloping topics for research within the archivesassessing materials availableadvising on how to work with archivists and curatorsdocumenting the research process, and writing up an archival studyArchival records and material culture (including manuscripts, documents, audio- and video-recordings, and visual and material culture) housed in special collections can provide a wealth of resources for qualitative researchers seeking to conduct research in the social sciences. This book invites researchers to experiment with the many ways in which in-person individual interviews and focus groups have expanded to include a variety of sensory methods to assist in the generation of verbal descriptions, a range of culturally responsive approaches to work with individuals and groups, and diverse re-theorizations of interviews that draw on new materialist approaches to the analysis and interpretation of data. Quest for Questioners serves as a springboard for students and researchers who may be familiar with designing studies that use individual interviews and focus groups, but have not yet explored approaches to interview research that involve object, visual, and graphic elicitation methods, post qualitative approaches to qualitative inquiry, and culturally responsive methodologies.This book provides students and active researchers guidance on how to make interviews work in creative ways that go beyond traditional, well-used forms. As a whole, it explores how researchers can adapt, re-invent, and even reject interview methods to explore social problems in inventive ways. It is an excellent teaching text for such classes as introductory research methods, introductory qualitative methods, qualitative research design, interview research, and qualitative data collection.

Review "Quests for Questioners: Inventive Approaches to Qualitative Interviews is an invigorating collection of contributions from diverse perspectives about innovative understandings of interview practices. Whether youre experienced or new to research, this accessible book will stimulate you to think outside the box conceptually and culturally, and to experiment with moving beyond the standard question-answer talk. Its a valuable resource that should be on every qualitative research reading list."--Rosalind Edwards, Professor of Sociology, University of Southampton, UK"In Roulstons edited volume, Quests for Questioners: Inventive Approaches to Qualitative Interviews, readers are introduced to innovative approaches to qualitative interviewing, as well as foundational theoretical and practical considerations for this approach to data generation. The volume offers new insights about culturally responsive approaches to interviewing, as well as rich discussions on how to engage with theory when re-conceptualizing interviewing practices. From the use of graphics to mobile methods to photo elicitation, this volume maps out new possibilities for what remains the most common approach to generating qualitative data. Indeed, this volume is a key and essential resource for qualitative inquirers seeking to deepen and expand their qualitative interviewing practices."--Jessica Nina Lester, Professor of Qualitative Research, Indiana University, Bloomington Details ISBN1975505247 Author Kathryn Roulston Pages 275 Series Qualitative Research Methodologies: Traditions, Designs, and Pedagogies Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781975505240 Format Paperback Subtitle Inventive Approaches to Qualitative Interviews Place of Publication Sterling, VA Country of Publication United States Edited by Kathryn Roulston AU Release Date 2023-05-30 NZ Release Date 2023-05-30 UK Release Date 2023-05-30 Publication Date 2023-04-26 DEWEY 001.42 Audience Professional & Vocational US Release Date 2023-04-26 Publisher Myers Education Press Imprint Myers Education Press ISBN-10 1975505247 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
