interview 4

I did interview no 4 the other day. It was completely fascinating, with some unexpected extra bits. Again, the ideas expressed supported the range of ideas in the literature, but in an unexpected way. I think I asked a leading question at one point. Also, the interviewee clearly demonstrated a postmodern awareness of the relativity of truth claims, something which all the respondents have done, which is interesting in itself.

interviews 2 and 3

I have now done interviews 2 and 3, which also went well and the respondents' ideas were richly nuanced and contained lots of different ideas and discourses, including some new ones not referenced in the first interview. All of the interviews taken together do actually reflect the range of positions and ideas to be found in the academic and other literature on this subject, though.
