Description
Summary:This paper demonstrates how 'interviewee reviews' add value to constructed analyses of qualitative data. As assumptions amongst researchers continue to differ about what reality is and whether or not it is measurable, 'interviewee reviews' are not only adding value to analyses but, more importantly, provide clarification, explained meanings, and help researchers to arrive at recommendations. This paper draws on the novel use of reviews as cultural artefacts to demonstrate how they enrich analysis in the construction of case-studies for Oxfam GB, Action Aid, Christian Aid, Water Aid and Amnesty International. Using interviewee reviews is an extended iterative phase relied on to ascertain whether or not the perspectives of key informants are represented with a high degree of validity. The constructionist approach underpinning the proposed enrichment of analyses is a key element of Representation Theory. Five elements are discussed in relation to the subject, these are, Key Informants, Interviewee Reviews, Constructed analyses, Contested Issues, Representation Theory
