Narrative in-depth research

There’s an obituary in today’s Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2009/sep/23/dennis-marsden-obituary which has a tangential relevance to our project. Marsden seems to have been a pioneer of the discursive interview process in the social sciences. There is often a tension between breadth and depth in research and Marsden might make an interesting argument for the value of the depth-based approach.

Alan Walker wrote the obituary. He was also heading up the NDA call 2 years ago.
