Qualitative Interviewing
The Art of Hearing Data

Third Edition


December 2011 | 288 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
The book describes in-depth qualitative interviewing from the very beginning to last step, from its underlying philosophy and assumptions to project design, analysis and write up. In responsive interviewing, the stages of research-design, data gathering, and analysis-are intimately linked. Researchers perform analysis throughout their projects, not just at the end, so that as they learn more, they can modify both the research problem they are exploring and the questions they ask.

The book assumes no prior knowledge or experience, and the authors' tone is conversational, revealing that interviewers can make mistakes, recover from them and still obtain rich and meaningful information.

Excellent source for students who opt for qualitative projects. Could not justify requiring for all students.

This text is clear and thorough in its coverage of the various aspects of conducting qualitative research. It is a good foundational text for students who are in the early stages of developing their research projects.

Excellent text for my first-year doctoral students in their qualitative methods class. Includes theory, a broad number of examples, practice, and most of all, a humanistic, action research orientation. I will continue to use this text. Thank you!
