Reviews

'Useful for anyone interested in sexuality and gender, the process of interviewing is assessed at the micro level which shines a light on complex personal dynamics. Using case studies to illuminate the nature of the interviewer-participant encounter, this reflective account provides an intimate exposé of an area of methodology which is rarely discussed. A must for anyone planning or doing sensitive interviewing'.Teela Sanders, Professor of Criminology, University of Leicester, UK
