Organized by the Chair of Intercultural Communication, Professor Luciara Nardon (Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada) will hold a workshop for doctoral students and other interested parties on 15.07.2025 on the topic “Facilitating Reflection and Sensemaking in Interviews”.
Current theorizing of interview research rejects the notion that interviews are neutral interactions in which knowledge is transferred from participants to researchers (Brinkmann, 2007; Golombisky, 2006; Gubrium et al., 2012; Holstein & Gubrium, 1995). Through the interview process, the researcher may support and influence the participants' sensemaking process (Cunliffe, 2002), which creates reflection opportunities in which new understandings are made possible (Way et al., 2015; Nardon et al., 2021).
In an interactive presentation, professor Luciara Nardon will introduce interview tools to facilitate reflection and sensemaking and support participants in articulating implicit knowledge and feelings, including Clean Language Interviewing (Cairns-Lee et al., 2022), Imaginative Metaphor Elicitation (Nardon & Hari, 2021), Arts Based Methods supported by Artificial Intelligence (Nardon et al., 2025) and use of virtual reality technology (Nardon & Arya, forthcoming). A discussion of how these approaches are supportive of intercultural interviewing will also be part of the presentation.
