Morning session 9:00–12:30~
Afternoon session 14:00–16:30, ending slightly earlier on Friday
Qualitative expert interviews are one of the most popular research methods in political and social research, yet often due to a lack of critical understanding run a risk of misrepresentation and under-theorisation of data. This course aims to
A special focus of the course is on practical considerations and training in designing and conducting expert interviews, including sampling, gaining access, framing questions, managing interactions and using technology. We explore the influence of contextual factors and relationships between an interviewer and interviewees on data generation.
The course concludes with an overview of interview data management and analysis approaches; however, it does not focus on data analysis as such.
4 credits Be an active participant, complete the readings, submit the research design material at least one week in advance of the course, and do the in-class presentations and activities.
Additional 2 credits Awarded on completion of daily assignments and a 4,000–6,000-word take-home expert interview report, in which you revise and critically reflect on your knowledge, experience and skills in interviewing and interview data generation.
Alenka is Senior Lecturer at the University of Stirling. She holds a PhD in Sociology-Communication Sciences from the University of Ljubljana.
She has extensive international experience in interview research and teaching, and has been an ECPR Instructor since 2008.
Her research interests are in public relations, health and political communication, with a focus on academic development, gender, loss and intersections between media and politics.
Qualitative expert interviews are one of the most popular research methods in political and social research, yet often lack critical understanding and, consequently, run a risk of misrepresentation and under-theorisation of data. They are often assumed as an unproblematic method that can easily uncover social realities and simply extract information. On the contrary, interviews – like any other qualitative research method – require in-depth understanding, solid theoretical basis, skills and careful validation for the reconstruction of latent meanings. Drawing on these assumptions, this course aims to:
An emphasis of the course is on the data generation process and development of interview skills through practical experience of designing and conducting expert and, to a lesser extent, other forms of interviews. It is particularly designed for those with little or no experience in qualitative interviewing, but also suitable for experienced researchers who wish to further develop and critically reflect on their interview knowledge, experience and skills.
The course begins with an introduction to scholarly approaches, paradigms, and traditions surrounding interview research. We discuss different types and forms of interviews, with a focus on expert interviews as one of the most common interview methods in political and social research.
According to European (German) research tradition, expert interviews (which by definition use experts as participants) are a separate method, not to be confused with other forms of interviews, particularly elite interviews. We draw on the assumptions of sociology of knowledge to define ‘experts’ and distinguish them from ‘elites’, ‘specialists’ and other social actors. We discuss who is an expert, what characteristics constitute an expert, and what constitutes expert knowledge and distinguishes it from other types of knowledge.
Drawing on principles and meanings of the concepts ‘expert’ and ‘expertise’, we address the specifics, risks and ethical dimensions of expert interviews as well as their broader function as a source of knowledge generation.
We discuss the typology of expert interviews, which can be divided to exploratory interview, systematising interview and theory-generating interview, and their implications for data generation and analysis.
As with other qualitative methods, interviews do not just have data at their disposal; they need to generate it. At this central stage of the course, we move from general theoretical concepts to concrete and practical discussion of interview design and data generation.
The practical methodological discussion begins with a thorough consideration of sampling strategies and gaining access. The ethical issues involved in the two processes are addressed. We examine different qualitative sampling strategies, including convenience sampling, purposive sampling, theoretical sampling, and snowball sampling. The latter is of particular importance in expert interviews, because it has the potential to overcome difficulties gaining access to an extended circle of participants and reaching a saturation principle.
To experience the unpredictable and complex process of gaining access, you’ll complete a practical exercise using different strategies to persuade potential interviewees to participate in your research project.
Prior to conducting interviews, the course addresses the importance of fieldwork preparation strategies, including designing an interview guide, framing interview questions for achieving breadth and depth, and designing an information sheet, a participant brief and a consent form.
To prepare for an interview comprehensively, we need to be familiar with stages of interview interaction, our participants and the roles likely to be played, language likely to be used, perceptions likely to be formed, and relationships likely to be developed. Since the interviewer and the relationship with the interviewee are crucial to the method, we need to be conscious of key interviewing skills, qualities and responsibilities as well as mutual influences in an interview setting.
From research preparation strategies, we move to the examination of the interview as a social interaction, which is – like any other form of interaction – influenced by diverse factors that require careful consideration in the research process. Socio-demographic, personal, cultural, gender and other factors inevitably influence the type of information revealed and knowledge communicated. In addition, complex issues of relationships, power, social (in)equality, trust and inter-subjectivity come to the surface in interview situations. Another important element to consider in interview research, particularly from the GDPR perspective, is the use of technology in recording and storing data (e.g. recording equipment, tablets, phones, computers and software). If these factors are acknowledged, carefully considered, and managed, then the data generation process can be significantly enhanced. In the opposite case, they have a potential to significantly hinder or even jeopardise the research process.
Drawing on these discussions, you will prepare an interview guide and other interview materials and conduct ‘real life’ interviews with peers and an expert. Based on these interviews, you prepare interview protocols and transcripts. Drawing on this experience, I will ask you to identify interactional factors of influence and critically evaluate their impact on the quality of generated data.
After the interview exercise, we turn to the most ignored requirement of good qualitative research: handling what comes as generated data. The qualitative data is in its essence voluminous, rich, complex, contextualised and as such overwhelmingly messy regardless of how organised the research process is. We examine different approaches to interview data management, which are the key requirement for data analysis.
While this course does not offer a comprehensive view of qualitative data analysis, it provides an introduction to the principles and practice of data management and analysis. We discuss guidelines and implications of transcribing or ‘translating’ the generated data from speech to text. I will outline common steps from this form of ‘raw’ data to analysis. We will emphasise that the data management (and consequently analysis) approach mainly depends on the research purpose, questions and the interview type. We briefly address the issues related to ethical data handling, coding strategies, and plurality of interpretations, as well as risks and consequences of misunderstandings and misinterpretations. We discuss the strengths and limitations of traditional ‘by hand’ vs. computer-assisted qualitative data management and I will introduce you briefly to NVivo software for qualitative data analysis.
The course concludes with critical reflection on interview research. We adopt ethical theory to summarise and (re)consider the ethical risks and dilemmas emerging from interview research, and transactional theory to examine the role of reflexivity, critical self-assessment, the researcher’s influence on the research process and ‘truthfulness’ of data. We review current methodological debates evolving around interviews and their quality assurance. I will place special emphasis on the strengths, risks and limitations of interview research as well as the scientific criteria (i.e. concepts of validity, reliability and generalisability) and their different meanings in qualitative and quantitative traditions.
By the end of this course, you will have a solid theoretical knowledge of qualitative expert interviews and data generation processes with an emphasis on theoretical application and development of interview skills through practical experience, including designing interview research, fieldwork preparation strategies, conducting interviews and data management.
The course also provides a comprehensive foundation for those who wish to pursue ECPR Summer or Winter School courses on qualitative data analysis.
Knowledge and understanding of philosophical, epistemological and theoretical underpinnings of qualitative research and its differences from quantitative research.
Good command of digital recorders/players and word processor software.
The emphasis of this course is on data generation practice and skills, so it is beneficial (but not necessary) for participants to bring their own research project to the course.
Each course includes pre-course assignments, including readings and pre-recorded videos, as well as daily live lectures totalling at least two hours. The instructor will conduct live Q&A sessions and offer designated office hours for one-to-one consultations.
