Building inclusive relationships with research participants 

(panel discussion) 

Led by Julia Taibi-Voigts and Monty Mountford (De Montford University) 

The themes and questions this panel session are: 

• Theme 1: Early relationship building // Which key components does the pre-phase of data collection include?

• Theme 2: Maintaining flexibility // How to meet the needs of different participants and changing situations?

• Theme 3: Ensuring inclusivity //  What are inclusive relationships (in the research context)?

• Theme 4: Relationship Management beyond data collection // Why does it matter?

• More detail about the D. Waddington chapter "Participant Observation" can be found in Essential Guide to Qualitative Methods in Organizational Research (2004)
