“When you start reading this, you will want to read on. This book is truly absorbing as it elevates our understanding of the potential of interview techniques for social research.” Melanie Nind, University of Southampton “A thoughtful textbook that offers contemporary knowledge exchange about qualitative interviewing. This textbook will encourage researchers to have engaging and meaningful conversations with their participants.” Barry Hill, Northumbria University "This is an innovative and much-needed volume on the creative processes that can be used to enhance interviews that will be valuable for researchers, students and research practitioners." Michael Thomas, Liverpool Institute for Research in Education “New or experienced interviewers alike will find something they can take away from this practical guide which offers insights to enhance interviews and improve the richness of data they produce.” Jon Rainford, The Open University “Love it! Such a useful practical guide for qualitative researchers. The authors introduce us to the concept of the ‘enhanced interview’ and invite us to reimagine interviews as authentic, social and creative encounters, using space as an important dimension alongside approaches such as objects, model-making, visuals and storytelling to help participants open up. By building rapport, fostering psychological safety and creating conditions for flow, this approach transforms the interview into a mutually beneficial, two-way conversation rather than an extractive process. A must-read for anyone seeking to make qualitative interviews not only engaging and enjoyable but also empowering for participants and ensuring outputs that are authentic.” Chrissi Nerantzi, University of Leeds
