Sharing Insights Across Disciplines and Methods: Collaborative Interview Analysis

Interviewing is at its core a collaborative and communicative method. This is true not only for conducting, but also for analyzing narrative interviews. Analyzing interviews in groups ensures the quality of interpretation. A collaborative interpretation process allows for different perspectives and thus different readings of an interview and helps guarantee the intersubjective comprehensibility of analysis results – a central criteria of quality for qualitative research. While teams in larger research projects can cooperate in the analysis process, this is a challenge for PhD students who generally work on their dissertation alone. This workshop allows PhD students who work with narrative interviews in their respective disciplines of Historical and Cultural Studies to address this issue and provide them with a setting for collaborative analysis.
