Rezensionen

"Throughout the book, the reader is given though-provoking tasks. ... Reading The Research Interview felt more like completing a course, than reading a textbook. ... It certainly has a role in doctoral and postgraduate research training for qualitative researchers, either for self-directed learning or as a resource for trainers. So too might it be a useful purchase for a qualitative research group, helping researchers keep their interviewing skills sharp." (Catherine Aicken, Qualitative Methods in Psychology, (23), 2018)

"It should be introduced into any course on qualitative research as a key stimulus text for discussing these concepts, or given to any research student writing on these topics in their methodology. ... Mann has managed to pack an enormous wealth of interviewing knowledge and experience into a handy, well-written volume which is both a pleasure to read and an education in itself." (Victoria Elliott, International Journal of Research & Method in Education, Vol. 41 (2), January, 2018)
