“…As a recognized method in the social sciences (Galletta, 2013), it benefits are that it is consistent and commensurate with our interpretive approach to the data, and enables us to examine targets' interpretations of their own experiences, and the experiences of their communities. The project aimed to 'explore people's subjective experiences and the meanings they attach to them' (Devine, 2002, pp.…”

The ways in which targeted communities experience hate speech is an important, but often neglected, component of the debate over the legitimacy of hate speech laws. This article reports on data drawn from interviews conducted with 101 members of Indigenous and minority ethnic communities in Australia regarding their experiences of hate speech. We give voice to targets' experiences of face-to-face and more widely broadcast hate speech, and outline the constitutive and consequential harms they claim to have suffered. We assess these against the alleged harms of hate speech in the literature, finding a close correlation between targets' reports and the literature.

“…The study does not purport them to be a representative sample, but rather is interested in their understanding of, and articulation of, the benefits which they believe that shared education brings to their autistic children. The data for the study was collected through semi-structured interview (Galetta, 2013), conducted either face-to-face or via email exchange, according to the preference of the participant. Face-to-face interviews took place either in the participants' homes or at a venue of their choosing.…”

“…The semi-structured interview was chosen as the initial medium of data gathering for this study, in line with IPA guidelines (Smith, Flowers & Larkin, 2009), as it is sufficiently structured to enable the researcher to address specific aspects of the research question while still leaving space for participants to offer new meanings (Galetta, 2013). The semi-structured interview enabled the participants to give their stories freely, with minimal direction from the researcher.…”

“…The opening section of the interview aims to settle the participant, to check levels of understanding and to ensure that consent has been given and that the participant is aware of his or her rights within the interview context. It aims to create space for the narrative to begin and to ground the content of what is described within the participant's experience (Galetta, 2013). The initial questions seek to confirm specifically that the consent forms have been signed, that the participant is happy with the recording, and with their rights to stop recording or to choose not to answer any questions, and that there is understanding that anonymity will be maintained in the transcription of the interview.…”

This qualitative research exploration uses interpretative phenomenological analysis of case studies to investigate the diversity and congruity of the lived experiences of families sharing education between home and school for children with autism. Using semi-structured interview and follow-up questionnaire it examines the perspectives of five mothers, and includes further input from wider family members and professionals.

The role of U.S. states in facilitating effective water governance under stress and change

Worldwide water governance failures undermine effective water management under uncertainty and change. Overcoming these failures requires employing more adaptive, resilient water management approaches; yet, while scholars have advance theory of what adaptive, resilient approaches should be, there is little empirical evidence to support those normative propositions. To fill this gap, we reviewed the literature to derive theorized characteristics of adaptive, resilient water governance including knowledge generation and use, participation, clear rules for water use, and incorporating nonstationarity. Then, using interviews and documentary analysis focused on five U.S. states' allocation and planning approaches, we examined empirically if embodying these characteristics made states more (or less) adaptive and resilient in practice. We found that adaptive, resilient water governance requires not just possessing these characteristics but combining and building on them. That is, adaptive, resilient water governance requires wellfunded, transparent knowledge systems combined with broad, multilevel participatory processes that support learning, strong institutional arrangements that establish authorities and rules and that allow flexibility as conditions change, and resources for integrated planning and allocation. We also found that difficulty incorporating climate change or altering existing water governance paradigms and inadequate funding of water programs undermine adaptive, resilient governance.
