Mobile interviews represent a useful tool for investigating people’s relationship with space and allows the researcher to explore issues within the context they occur. The researcher can use the environment as a prompt to discussion and the respondents can use it as an aid to illustrate the points they want to get across.  This course is designed primarily for researchers with some previous experience of qualitative interviewing who want to start using mobile methods. 

This workshop is flexibly structured to discuss common challenges of working with NVivo and aims to enable participants to move on with their analysis.
