Toolkit 09: Using email interviews

Lucy Gibson, University of Manchester, June 2010

Summary

This toolkit draws on experiences of using email interviews in a qualitative, mixed method study of older music fans in three popular music ‘scenes’. This toolkit concentrates on my experiences of using email interviews, reflecting on how this method affected data collection and analysis, and discussing how the method works in practice.
