Abstract: For qualitative researchers, selecting appropriate sites in which to conduct interviews may seem to be a relatively simple research design issue. In fact it is a complicated decision with wide-reaching implications. In this paper, we argue that the interview site itself embodies and constitutes multiple scales of spatial relations and meaning, which construct the power and positionality of participants in relation to the people, places, and interactions discussed in the interview. We illustrate how observation… Show more

“…politicians, civil servants, business leaders, etc.) and their views is challenging (Schoenberger 1991, Cochrane 1998, McDowell 1998, Elwood and Martin 2000, Kezar 2003, Smith 2006, Neal and McLaughlin 2009), and we found that it was more difficult to encourage such people to "break the frame" and look at their communities in new ways. The abstract language of zoning maps and other planning tools and rhetoric is, after all, the language of these actors.…”
