What is Qualitative Interviewing? is an accessible and comprehensive ‘what is’ and ‘how to’ methods book. It is distinctive in emphasizing the importance of good practice in understanding and undertaking qualitative interviews within the framework of a clear philosophical position. Rosalind Edwards and Janet Holland provide clear and succinct explanations of relevant philosophies and theories of how to know about the social world, and a thorough discussion of how to go about researching it using interviews. A series of short chapters explain a range of interview types and practices. Drawing on their own and colleagues’ experiences Edwards and Holland provide real research examples as informative illustrations of qualitative interviewing in practice and the use of creative interview tools. They discuss the use of new technologies as well as tackling enduring issues around asking and listening, and power dynamics in research. Written in a clear and accessible style the book concludes with a useful annotated bibliography of key texts and journals in the field. What is Qualitative Interviewing? provides a vital resource for both new and experienced researchers across the social science disciplines.

Revolutionizing Development: Reflections on the Work of Robert Chambers

Summary


With roots in approaches to popular education and participatory action research that place the learner and the ‘beneficiary’ of development at the centre of enquiry and action, the participatory visualisation methods associated with Participatory Rural Appraisal have been widely used as tools for learning and accountability. In this article, I reflect on lessons learnt from using these methods in a participatory process evaluation of an educational programme aimed at addressing chronic malnutrition in an East African country. Building on this experience, I explore the educative and empowering dimensions of participatory visualisation methods, and consider the contribution that these methods can make to effective evaluation.

Using Participatory Process Evaluation to Understand the Dynamics of Change in a Nutrition Education Programme

Salvador is amuch-photographed city. Beyond thegorgeous beaches and the romantic splendour of the historic centre are informal settlements where the majority of Salvador’s inhabitants live. Middle-class Bahians rarely venture into these neighbourhoods. Yet every day, thousands of women traverse the city to spend long days cleaning their homes, caring for their children, washing their clothes and preparing their food. Their lives are hidden. Their work is underpaid and undervalued. Their invisible hands sustain families, support middle-class women’s careers and make a significant contribution to Brazil’s growing economy. Some 9.1million Brazilianwomenworkas domestic workers, constituting around17.8 percent of the entire female labour force. Since the first domestic workers’ association was founded in the mid-1930s, domestic worker activists have been engaged in a long, hard, struggle for rights and recognition. They have won significant labour rights. But many domestic workers remain undocumented and continue to suffer exploitation and abuse in their places of work. The domestic workers’struggle is not just one for labour rights. It is also for dignity: to be treated as fully human. Re-presenting their humanity, as well as revealing the conditions in the places where they live and work became a vehicle for a participatory photography project that Pathways carried out in collaboration with Creuza Oliveira and colleagues from the National Federation of DomesticWorkers (FENATRAD) and its local chapter. Action research with FENETRAD turned the tables on the conventional researcher^researched relationship, placing domestic workers themselves at the heart of the process of enquiry. Terezinha and Andrea came to work closely with Creuza, a long-time comrade and colleague of Terezinha’s in a project that explored the historyof domestic workers’ mobilization, and issues of power and empowerment in domestic workers’everyday lives.

Sexuality and Empowerment: An Intimate Connection

Development organisations have learnt to talk the talk on ‘gender’. But in many if not most organisations male privilege and patriarchal attitudes and behaviour persist. This article explores techniques that can be used to make visible some of the dynamics of gendered power in organisations, as part of strategies for changing the scene in the everyday work settings in which these dynamics create obstacles for the enjoyment of greater equality and respect. It draws on anthropological and participatory methods borrowed, adapted and developed in a range of contexts, from action research on organisational culture to the delivery of ‘gender training’. Framed by bell hooks’ observation that patriarchy is a pernicious and life-threatening social disease that affects us all, the article offers some reflections on interventions aimed at changing the gender order.
