Abstract
‘This article’ introduces and evaluates an innovative example of a group interview technique which has been used in research with young people in three Leicestershire secondary schools. The interviewing technique in this instance is shown to contrast with some of the conventional wisdoms about good practice (a) by acknowledging and using the intrinsically reflexive features of interviews and (b) by adopting an openly partisan approach to the topic under investigation. The potential limitations as well as the potential benefits of the approach are explored, particularly with reference to the prospects of empowering the research subjects.
