1.2 Interviews

Let’s first consider those times when you will set up an interview, in contrast to those times when you grab a quick word with a colleague and ask them an important question. For in looking at these more formal interviews, we can see how you might deal with some of the ‘problems’ that we’ve identified above and then, later, we can see if we can use any of these ideas to help with the informal, chance conversations that are likely to be an important part of any practice-centred inquiry.
