Qualitative interview is used in research when more personal interaction
promises to obtain in depth information from the participants and thus
to achieve richer data. Qualitative interviews usually involve
follow-up questions and are conducted in a conversation format. Yet
sometimes exploring topics that insolve sensitive issues or rely on
tacit knowledge may be challanging. Elicitation techniques are visual,
verbal, written or palpable stimuli used in interview to help
participants talk. They also promise to reduce imbalances between
researcher and research participants. In this seminar, we explore
different elicitation formats and applications, discuss their usefulness
and challenges related to their application, as well as examine the
ethical aspects of elicitation techniques. Through readings, discussions
and practical exercises, the seminar participants will learn how to
plan and implement elicitation in qualitative studies.
