Support for Interview Based Research 


STG lead(s): Elli Mylonas, Kerri Hicks

STG worked with Prof. Davidman to see if she could use voice recognition software, and read the interviews into the computer as a way to facilitate data entry. We then showed her how to use NVivo qualitative analysis package to code and analyze her interviews.  

Prof. Davidman is a sociologist who bases her work on the qualitative analysis many hours of interviews. Her current (2003) research on women and Orthodox Judaism was going to amass 4,000 hours of interviews that had to be transcribed, organized and analyzed. She was interested in identifying technologies that would help her with these tasks.
