A Practical Guide to Fieldwork
When you walk into a room to do an interview what question shouldn’t you start with? What should you say to your interviewee as you are leaving? Should you tape? What should be in your letter requesting an interview? What are the differences between interviewing in Washington, Brussels, New Delhi or Beijing? How do you approach interviews with indigenous people? Qualitative methods can be used alone or in combination with quantitative methods. Qualitative methods often involve fieldwork interviews. During 30 years of doing socio-legal projects in both developed and developing countries I have made a number of mistakes. We discuss them so that you have a reasonable chance of not repeating them. Along the way we will also discuss sampling strategies such as outlier logic, natural experiments, diversity sampling, criterion sampling etc. Becoming a good fieldworker takes time. It involves skills of listening, observation, cultural sensitivity and analysis. This seminar introduces you to the skills that you will need to build on.
