Dear Ben We would push the boundaries further and included stakeholder evaluation approaches, emotional touchpoints as well as co -observation methods too in our approach. Please see recent report - just in the process of working on publications BEST WISHES Kim Professor Kim Manley CBE, (Joint Clinical Chair) Associate Director Transformational Research and Practice Development East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation trust (EKHUFT) email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Tel: 01227 766877 x 7222523 Mob: 07805 791606 Professor & Co-director England Centre for Practice Development (ECPD), Canterbury Christ Church University [log in to unmask] PA: Lisa Sheene [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> 01843 225544 Ext 62257 Adminstrator ECPD: Sara Travers [log in to unmask] Please note: I work 3 days/week at EKHUFT and 2 days/week at the ECPD flexibly. I apologise for any delay that may therefore result in responding to your email From: Realist and Meta-narrative Evidence Synthesis: Evolving Standards [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Bree Weizenegger Sent: 19 January 2018 06:13 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Interviewing differences between critical realist research and realist evaluation Hello realist explorers. My question is regarding whether anyone here is aware of any differences in qualitative interviewing between a realist evaluation approach, and a broader critical realist approach. I know that this question is perhaps part of a larger question that I am still grappling with, in relation to the differences between realist evaluation and critical realism research. But as you may know, information on how to conduct critical realist research is sparse from within the philosophical/social science literature, and realist evaluation (and it's CMO configuration) is something which has been more accessible for me in planning my research thus far. I have read quite a bit of Pawson and Tilley's writings regarding interviewing (and an excellent article by Ana Manzano (2016) The craft of interviewing in realist evaluation, Evaluation 22(3), 342-360), so am aware of the difference between realist and a more phenomenological/constructivist focus on interviewing. I'm just concerned that I might be launching into my interviewing believing 'the subject is there to confirm, falsify and refine the theory', and with this focus, be missing something from a critical realist perspective. Any thoughts would be helpful - thanks in advance, Bree.
