Herbert J. Rubin is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Northern
Illinois University. He is the author of Applied Social Research
and (with Irene Rubin) four editions of Community Organizing and
Development. He has written articles based on in-depth interviewing
that explore rural development in Thailand, suburban land-use
fights, cooperative housing and economic and community development.
Both his monograph on Thailand, The Dynamics of Development in
Rural Development and his book on community renewal in the United
States, Renewing Hope within Neighborhoods of Despair: The
Community-based Development Model, are based on participant
observation and hundreds of in-depth interviews. He is currently
using open ended in depth interviews as well as participant
observation to study organizations that advocate for the poor.
Irene S. Rubin is Professor Emeritus of Public Administration
at Northern Illinois University. She is the author of Running
in the Red: The Political Dynamics of Urban Fiscal Stress,
Shrinking the Federal Government, Class Tax and Power: Municipal
Budgeting in the United States, and Balancing the Federal Budget:
Eating the Seed Corn or Trimming the Herds, all four of which rely
extensively on qualitative interviews. She has written
journal articles about citizen participation in local level
government in Thailand, how universities adapt when their budgets
are cut, and fights between legislative staffers and elected and
appointed officials about unworkable policy proposals, all based on
qualitative interviews. She is in the middle of an
interviewing project about how local officials view and use
contracts with the private sector and with other governmental units
to provide public services.
“The book does a wonderful job of detailing how to develop
questions, probes, analyze data, and organizing our data.”
*David S. Allen*
“This book is exactly what I was looking for in that it covers
interviewing and analysis in depth.”
*Daphne John*
“The Third Edition will be very useful for graduate students. It
appears to seamlessly shift its lens from broad landscapes to
close-ups without losing focus on the content.”
*Sarita K. Davis*
“Students leave this book fully informed of the nuances and
complexity of interviewing as well as excited about the promise
interview research findings offer.”
*Hannah Britton*
“This text is well-written and easy to follow. It follows the
natural flow of a qualitative project.”
*Cheryl L. Coan*
“The authors provide a clear and detailed illustration of the nuts
and bolts of interviewing in qualitative research. The focus on the
reflective process, question development, and procedural steps
associated with qualitative research is rich and thorough.”
*Tracy M. Lara*
“This edition is at once simpler, and clearer yet more expansive
and richer in content, examples and use.”
*Nancy Stanford Blair*
“[The book] is somehow both more concise and more comprehensive
than the Second Edition, providing a rich discussion of philosophy
as well as design and analytic methods. The authors also have a
very pleasant writing style that is engaging to the reader, and
provides both clarity of the concepts discussed as well as a sense
of a strong knowledge through the use of personal narrative and
sharing of experiences.”
*Eileen S. Johnson*
