Qualitative interviewing / by Brinkmann, Svend.(CARDINAL)489917;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction to qualitative interviewing -- Research design in interview studies -- Writing up the methods section -- Writing up the research findings -- Discussion of qualitative interviewing -- References and resources."Qualitative interviewing has today become one of the most common research methods across the human and social sciences, but it is an approach that comes in different guises. Qualitative Interviewing will help its readers write, represent, understand, and critique qualitative interview research in its many forms as currently practiced. The book begins with a theoretically informed introduction to qualitative interviewing by presenting a variegated landscape of how conversations have been used for knowledge-producing purposes. Particular attention is paid to the complementary positions of experience-focused interviewing (phenomenological positions) and language-focused interviewing (discourse-oriented positions), which focus on interview talk as reports (of the experiences of interviewees) and accounts (occasioned by the situation of interviewing), respectively. The following chapters address various ways of designing qualitative interview studies and a guide to writing up the methodological procedures and results of an interview study. The book concludes with a presentation of the most common errors in interview reports, offering a range of solutions and strategies for evaluating research findings based on qualitative interviews." -

49 up [videorecording] by Apted, Michael.drtpro; Lewis, Claire.pro; Turner, George Jesse.cng; First-Run Features (Firm)(CARDINAL)356877; Granada Television International.(CARDINAL)133147; Granada Television.;
Tony -- Jackie -- Sue -- Bruce -- Paul -- Suzy -- Nick -- Lynn -- Simon -- Andrew -- Charles -- John -- Neil -- Credits.Photography, George Jesse Turner ; editors, Ian Brown, Kim Horton ; 7 Up directed by Paul Almond, researched by Michael Apted, Gordon McDougall.Host, Michael Apted ; interviews with, Bruce Balden, Jacqueline Bassett, Symon Basterfield, Andrew Brackfield, John Brisby, Suzanne Dewey, Charles Furneaux, Nicholas Hitchon, Neil Hughes, Lynn Johnson, Paul Kligerman, Susan Sullivan, Tony Walker.Originally broadcast in the UK as a documentary television special on September 15 and 22, 2005.Inspired by the Jesuit saying, "Give me a child until he is 7 years old, and I will give you the man," in 1964 Granada Television commissioned a short documentary wherein producers profiled 14 7-year-old children, and loosely speculated on what sort of lives they might lead. It was meant and received as an indictment of the British class system, which seemed most inflexible in 1964. Almost as an afterthought, director Michael Apted--a researcher on the original documentary--returned to profile these same 14 subjects at seven-year intervals. Over the decades, Britain has changed unutterably, the class system has partly melted, and the films themselves have become something else entirely. The "7 up" series has been called the grandfather of reality television, and as a whole reminds viewers what we all know: that every so-called ordinary life is a zone of great drama and tremendous risk.DVD; NTSC.

One fair wage : ending subminimum pay in America / by Jayaraman, Sarumathi,1975-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.From the author of the acclaimed Behind the Kitchen Door, a powerful examination of how the subminimum wage and the tipping system exploit society’s most vulnerable. Before the COVID-19 pandemic devastated the country, more than six million people earned their living as tipped workers in the service industry. They served us in cafes and restaurants, they delivered food to our homes, they drove us wherever we wanted to go, and they worked in nail salons for as little as $2.13 an hour—the federal tipped minimum wage since 1991—leaving them with next to nothing to get by. These workers, unsurprisingly, were among the most vulnerable workers during the pandemic. As businesses across the country closed down or drastically scaled back their services, hundreds of thousands lost their jobs. As in many other areas, the pandemic exposed the inadequacies of the nation’s social safety net and minimum-wage standards. One of New York magazine’s "Influentials" of New York City, one of CNN’s Visionary Women in 2014, and a White House Champion of Change in 2014, Saru Jayaraman is a nationally acclaimed restaurant activist and the author of the bestselling Behind the Kitchen Door. In her new book, One Fair Wage, Jayaraman shines a light on these workers, illustrating how the people left out of the fight for a fair minimum wage are society’s most marginalized: people of color, many of them immigrants; women, who form the majority of tipped workers; disabled workers; incarcerated workers; and youth workers. They epitomize the direction of our whole economy, reflecting the precariousness and instability that is increasingly the lot of American labor.

Billionaire wilderness : the ultra-wealthy and the remaking of the American West / by Farrell, Justin,1983-author.(CARDINAL)837123;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 357-367) and index.Introduction: setting off into the wilderness -- Part I. How we got here and what it feels like -- New nation of the ultra-wealthy -- Mount billionaire -- Part II. Using nature to solve economic dilemmas -- Compensation conservation -- Connoisseur conservation -- Gilded green philanthropy -- Moneyfest destiny -- Part III. Using rural people to solve social dilemmas -- Becoming rural poor, naturally -- Guilt numbed -- Part IV. Ultra-wealth through the eyes of the working poor -- No time for judgment -- Cracking the veneer -- Epilogue: the future of wealth and the west."Billionaire Wilderness offers an unprecedented look inside the world of the ultra-wealthy and their relationship to the natural world, showing how the ultra-rich use nature to resolve key predicaments in their lives. Justin Farrell immerses himself in Teton County, Wyoming-both the richest county in the United States and the county with the nation's highest level of income inequality-to investigate interconnected questions about money, nature, and community in the twenty-first century. Farrell draws on three years of in-depth interviews with "ordinary" millionaires and the world's wealthiest billionaires, four years of in-person observation in the community, and original quantitative data to provide comprehensive and unique analytical insight on the ultra-wealthy. He also interviewed low-income workers who could speak to their experiences as employees for and members of the community with these wealthy people. He finds that the wealthy leverage nature to climb even higher on the socioeconomic ladder, and they use their engagement with nature and rural people as a way of creating more virtuous and deserving versions of themselves. Billionaire Wilderness demonstrates that our contemporary understanding of the relationship between the ultra-wealthy and the environment is empirically shallow, and our reliance on reports of national economic trends distances us from the real experiences of these people and their local communities"--
