Audio: Conducting Interviews

In this video, Katie reminds you of the importance of the questions you design for the interview. Katie begins this video with this observation: “I want the interviews to do something that I as a narrator cannot do. I want them to bring a personal connection. An unexpected story or life experience. That’s what makes the story more complete. It’s no longer just one’s researcher’s findings, it’s a collection of experiences, personal experiences, academic research and they are all speaking to one another in this beautiful conversation.”
