Description

This lecture focuses on the question of how qualitative interview situations can be designed in such a way that it also offers people with low linguistic competence in the researching language (e.g. due to a so-called intellectual disability or other language barriers) the opportunity to open up insights into their lifeworld.

The author advocates offering a variety of methods and materials and, in the sense of qualitative methodology, engaging with the focal points of the interview partners instead of giving too much space to the interview guideline. Finally, participants will discuss the significance of the dominance of a verbally organised social world ("verbal culture") for research and for the participation or exclusion in research.
