Sociologists can ask the objects of their studies about their lived experiences, their motivations, their feelings and their aspirations for the future. This workshop teaches students how to engage in scientific research using question-based data. We will examine the benefits and drawback of indepth interviewing as a research methodology. It is open students who might use interview techniques in future academic or professional settings.
